Life of Lakhan and Saroj is
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 is a 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.
