Happy Birthday Sister!

Sisters are so precious,Indeed a lifetime gift,They support and help you,Whenever you falter or fall,With their helpBack to your balanceYou shift,They help you lift.You have been the bestWith you I have wovenA lifetime of delights:Outings,feastings, And arguments;All we did we loved and let go the rest.You brought lightTo our livesRumjhum is our pride,Your smile she

Sundays

Sundays, lovely sundays, No rushing to work,No hopping on buses, Or catching trains, Or missing subways.No early wake up call,No hurry, no haste at all,No alarms ringing,Lazy waking, And lazier rising.Leisure short and sweet,Sunday’s a treat!But this Sunday,Get busy,Get ready,Decorate the home Bright, all lit.Favourite foods cooking,Special savories Yummy, spicy and crunching,On Diwali sweetsDon’t yet

Have a laughterful day and a happy morning.

Laugh a lot more, May your laughter,Just nonstop pour,On laughter increase,Your score more.Let laughter,Reach your core,Like the rushing,Waves on the shore.Life’s not forever,It’s now or never,Genuine, laughter pureWill many ails cure.
