" A Salute to The Guiding lights of my life"
First of all, my salute to all the women on this special day. Why is it we had to have just one special day for them? Why not make all 365 days in the year a women's day. They are the mother's and you can say the creators of this earth. It is they who brought us on this earth. Be it a sister, mother, grand-mother, wife, fiance, bhabhi or friend they all are the sweetest and most delicate and maybe they know more of paradise than even angels can recall. They have the power to make the meadows turn to flower… There love is like the rush of life, a bubbling and laughing spring that runs through all like liquid light.
As a mother she is the one with whom we launch our daring ships yet keep the things that lasts. As elder sister they become our guiding light and the pillar to show us the way and lean upon. As the small sister she brings the joy and entertainment to our life and as the partner the love in our life. Every emotion can be found among them. Hence to me it seems that just dedication one day for them is too less. Lets dedicate all the 365 days of the year to them.
I would like to take this thread as a platform to dedicate my salute to few who have been like a guiding light in my life. Here are they all….
My Mother:
No time, but time for me
No patience, but you listen to me
Dreams and goals, they are history
Because you put me first, and you last
Because you can't forget about your past
Nobody gave you a book
to raise me
But look how I came out
Just you alone can take on the earth
because of all your worth
My love for you will never go away
because my heart can't run away
So as many days I count on you
and all I put you through
You still love me
And I'll always love you
You were there when I learned to walk
You were there when I learned to talk
You were there to help me to my feet
When I fell down and almost admitted defeat
You are the one person I knew would never hurt me
You are the only person I knew would never desert me
You are my best friend, and I love you with all my heart
You helped me so much when my life was falling apart
You see me smile and it means the world to you
You try so hard to make me smile, it's so true
You love my laugh and my childish gaze
When I look at you though I'm truly amazed
I want to thank you for all you've done
You have been there when the devil almost won
But now I'm not to sure how long you'll last
You're happy days seemed to have long passed
And yet that smile still sits on your face
Your so optimistic, and so out of place
But yet I can't help to smile back at you
And think of all the things we've been through
My Bhabhi:
Remembering you always.
I will remember you always,
The way you dressed,
The way you smiled.
The way you walked and talked,
The way you danced to our song.
You were my best friend that I will never forget.
I loved you and you knew it.
Everyone thinks your gone forever but you exist,
In my heart, and my memories.
Those days, we spent together, were the best days of my life.
We laughed, we cried.
We were full of pain but so much fuller of happiness.
Every word you ever said to me, I will keep it in my heart, soul and memory.
You were important to me in every way, you let me spill out all my pain and fears, even though you had problems of your own, you were a shoulder to cry on, when I needed it most.
I will never forget you.
I will Remember you always.
You are watching over me now.
Making sure I don't get in any trouble or hurt.
You go every where I go.
When I start to feel down, because your gone I just think of your smile and pretty eyes,
And I think about the way you would always know how to make me smile even though it's a time to cry.
That makes me feel better and I laugh to myself thinking your there with me.
You were the best friend any one could ever have.
I was small, but you talked to me like and adult. I appreciated you and I still do.
I love you. And know, that I will never, ever forget you.
Remembering you always.
Now this is for the three people who came to my life later but have now become the most important and maybe a permanent part of my life… They are now actually the guiding light of my life... Barnalidi, Sree and Minniedi.
I sit all alone, desperatly trying to figure myself out,
What have I become?
What have I let myself believe?
The sound screeching through me like a reoccurring broken vase,
The splinted pieces penetrating my exposed vulnerable mind,
Like a newly born creature from the deep,
Burning its delicate eyes
And then comes the excruciating pain from the light…
Why am I so alone? Where are my friends?
I have been taken from the world of joyfulness and taken to the depths of despair,
Where I can only feel and touch the hatefulness and torture within myself.
Is there nobody who can help me out of this trapped nightmare?
Which is turning myself inside out and ripping my soul to shreds?
All of a sudden a bolt of blinding light surrounds me,
My head spins in and out of consciousness,
Its then that I see it a somewhat type of caring friend…
An angel maybe…
I focus on its beauty and innocence and then I know what is happening.
I am no longer alone No longer afraid No longer living in a nightmare,
But feeling safe and happy,
That someone cares.
She willingly reaches out to me Puts her hand in mine,
And tells me I'm safe at long last and that I have a friend.
She explains to me that I'm not alone that I have traveled the dark road,
But now back onto the joyful path again.
She tells me I am not alone I have a friend close by,
I have a sister,
She will never forget me always keep me in her heart,
And treat me like her own sibling,
My friend is my sister, and my sister is my friend,
And you should never forget they are always there!
And just remember life is like a road, you get rough and stumbly bits on it but someone is always there to pick you up if you fall down!
And here's to those three people who did the same to me.
Barnalidi:
My rock for which I lean on
My laughter when I'm blue,
She's the one I count on most
My sister through and through.
Impartial to the words I speak
And never judges me,
The jokes and insane stories
Always set my problems free.
When all have failed to see me
For who I really am,
Her eyes shine deep inside me
And me she understands.
As friendships come and fade
And I have loved and lost,
Her shining love and grateful trust
Do not come at such a cost.
And when I need some good advice
Or a person to admire,
I know I'll always go to her
For her words, to me, inspire.
When no one else will listen
And I feel I've done no right,
She reassures my every thought
And makes worthy my whole life.
I thank her for the love she gives
And the person she maintains,
Her influence will always stick
For my sister she remains.
Minniedi:
I know you'll always watch me,
Each and every day,
So in my times of troubles,
You're there to take my hand and lead the way.
I know you'll always love me,
You'll always be right here,
Shielding me from all my pain,
Standing between me and fear.
I know you'll always protect,
From hurt and grief and woe,
That you will hold me in your arms,
And never let me go.
I want you to know I love you,
I always have, and always will,
And everyday my heart will grow,
And my love for you will over-spill.
I know at times we'll argue,
Or be miles and miles apart,
But you will always be close to me,
Where it matters - in my heart.
Sree:
A total self-commitment
Not fame nor fortune need
You gave yourself completely
In thought, in word, in deed.
You never stopped to wonder
On blessings you might earn
But tried instead to teach me
And prayed that I might learn.
And now I'm hopefully wiser
I understand much more
And look with admiration…
Your presence I adore.
Sree you gave me everything
A debt I can't repay
Today on this let me pray
God please help me to show her
My love in every way.
