Treasure Her Memories
O God ask the sky to open up but shower a
blessing,
Let the drizzle be so light that her arrival is
pleasing.
When she is with me let the sky pour the
heaviest rain,
So that she finds it hard to leave me in the
pouring rain.
That would be an additional pleasure to
extend my age,
Her eyes would be my mirror to see more of
my image.
Let her pretty face keep twinkling in my eyes
forever,
Let my love be blissful and forgiving like a true
lover.
Let there be no disturbance and no one to
bother,
Let me feel the joy of my life come to me
together.
My hugs and kisses for my sweetheart should
hold her,
Let me extend my love to persuade her and
hold her.
To love and to treasure her would be my only
pleasure,
Let no lightning and thunder spoil my lovely
pleasure.
Beauty and lovers have been at loggerheads
always,
Let me strike a balance and honour both as
always.
I made a solemn prayer that she should be all
mine,
I did this because this was a responsibility of
mine.
How fortunate was I when she consented to
my love,
For years we created a family that was full of
our love.
I now regret that I couldn't look after my
treasure well,
Nature took her away so soon to make me feel
unwell.
Life would have been easier for me if we had
never met,
I wouldn't be lonely suffering my pain and
sorrow, I bet.
Now that the unthinkable has happened and
she is gone,
I'll treasure all her fond memories from dusk
to dawn.
That was how well my pretty lotus, my life and
my dear wife,
Groomed me well for fifty five years and
enriched my life.
No one has ever known our secret recipe for
life and living,
It was our instinctual love that made our life
worth living.
My people will love and cherish the life we
proudly spent,
Just a rose on our mantle would provide us
the right scent.
