Life of Lakhan and Saroj
Was Different
January nineteenth 2014 brought me many
fond memories of the past,
Fifty years ago, Saroj and I wedded this day
with a big bang and blast.
Today is that time again to rewind and ponder
about the glorious past,
This has brought me to think of the day I said
my vow and "I do” at last.
My fifty golden years are time I have well
cherished with a lot of joy,
We kept our relationship alive without a
blemish like a special toy.
All the rewarding years that we spent together
side by side happily,
Makes this special Golden Day rejuvenate and
come alive joyfully.
Each year had given us multiple fond
memories to share and care,
We loved our dreams that we made come true
with a lot to spare.
All these have given our relationship the
greatest strength to share,
This day would have been super happy if she
did not go else where.
Just before we could reach this milestone in
our life, she departed,
I was all distraught, sorrowful and lonely and
left broken-hearted.
Sharing fifty years of memories was worth an
immense treasure,
We had planned a celebration but my sorrow
ended all pleasure.
All the tears this lonely life has now brought in
the way for me,
All the joy that wouldn’t have known any
bound has jolted me.
Now I have no choice but to reflect on each
and every year one by one,
To further strengthen our bond despite the
fact that she is gone.
As each day is now passing slowly but steadily
I think of the past,
All the treasured gifts that she had given me
are here till the last.
My future ride of life is all confusing because
my guide is no more,
I feel lost and disoriented in the rough sea
with no sight of shore.
Our partnership that had crossed fifty
milestones is rare to find,
Our love and living was full of fun we knew it
was one of its kind.
Our love life teaches others to value all
relationships with pride,
Family life is an open book and there should
be nothing to hide.
My Pretty Lotus and I gave each other a strong
feeling of love,
We enjoyed our life so much that we acted like
our garden dove.
No storm, no current or rough weather could
weaken our move,
No ravages of time to tarnish our love we had
nothing to prove.
So even after the fifty years we behaved like
each other's dove,
Our relationship will never feel out-dated or
old we are in love.
Since our love was always blessed with a
touch of Almighty God,
Our affection for one another gave us happy
time with the Lord.
Friends say that fifty years of togetherness
earned us the fame,
Of being the Golden couple and for sticking
together by the game.
For half a century is a very long time walking
along side by side,
I feel that has made our journey of life such an
interesting ride.
This wonderful journey began in a village over
half a century ago,
Where two souls were blessed into one body
without much ado.
If we celebrated those golden years to raise our
glass to toast,
We would have had many friends to say
cheers along the coast.
But this is not any special day when we
haven't got each other,
I have lost my life partner she cannot be
replaced by any other.
No life’s everlasting, dark clouds are bound to
come and gather,
Life of Lakhan and Saroj is different it will go
further and further.
