You Chose To Be With Me
Everything that I ever wanted in my life,
Was for my Lotus to be my beautiful wife.
I've cried everyday since she went away,
Wondering how I could’ve made her stay.
I miss the days when she would cook,
I loved to watch her read a good book.
I think about her every minute every day,
My Lotus was just so great in every way.
Let's go to dinner! That sounded fine,
She always ordered sprite but no wine.
I drove her everywhere she wanted to go,
My Pretty Lotus was swift but never slow.
She looked so pretty and smelt so nice,
I got lucky when I rolled my lovely dice.
Flowers and cards, she loved them all,
Especially those bright roses in the fall.
I could pick her out in any large crowd,
'That was my Baby!' I was so proud.
She would smile at me and then I knew,
I would get to go home and be with you.
We had our own language and special words
to speak,
Many new phrases and words came for us
every week.
Mine were dorky, she'd shake her head,
But I always laughed at the ones she said.
How lucky was I to have her around here,
I was always smiling when she was near.
She blessed my life with love and a lot of joy,
When she brought home our first boy.
We loved to travel to places near and far,
It did not matter if it was by plane or car.
She really knew how to plan all the trip,
She willingly allowed me the wines to sip.
I now miss the laughs and all the fun,
I still can't believe that it's all gone.
She was an angel in my mind and heart,
On every step she looked very smart.
She taught me a lot about how to live,
How to love, behave and how to give.
Now I have to do all these on my own,
But I feel she’s with me, I'm not alone.
Through the bedroom door I go each day,
'Hi, My Pretty Lotus!' is all what I say.
Everything here reminds me of that dove,
All the things I’ve treasured about her love.
Clothes, shoes, jewels and even perfume,
All her used things that are in our room.
They remind me of my love for you my love,
And make me smile when I feel blue and sob.
I wish that she was still here with me,
To guide me, love me and play with me.
I'd get her ice cream and rub her feet,
I'd let her sit in the best recliner seat.
I never knew the right ghazal and song,
She'd always help me when I was wrong.
Sometimes it was my purposeful gaffe,
Just to please her and make her laugh.
Cooking was something I could not do,
Cleaning the dishes I never did for you.
I could bring for her all the things good,
And I could make the yard look good.
Lakhan still wants to be happy in this life,
But that's not easy without my pretty wife.
But for my every day that now goes by,
Saroj reminds me of what, where and why.
I wish that I could trade places with you,
For all pain and suffering you went through.
She smiled and stood tall above the crowd,
All the family and friends were very proud.
I know I'm dull and I cannot ever dance,
I'm so very thankful you gave me a chance.
To try in many ways to love well and serve,
I wish I could give you all that you deserve.
There was only one chance in my life,
For you to be my beautiful wedded wife.
You were so gracious and giving for all to see,
I'm thankfully glad you chose to be with me.

She was my light when there was no sun.
She was my rainbow after the rain was done.
She was my star that twinkled in the night.
She was my new moon that glowed so bright.
She was the wind that whistled my name.
She was my love when our life was a game.
She was the flower that I would never miss.
She was my world where I found all my bliss.
