A total recall!
striding along
From cradle to grave
All the way
I valentined her!
I knew
She will be born
For me!
Being the first to see her
Out of the maternity ward
I managed
To put a sugar crystal
In her mouth,
And whispered
My long-cherished name for her
Into her right ear -
ENJOY!
To me
She is MY JOY!
At three,
She eyed at a toffee -
The next moment,
I got her, candily!
At five,
She dribbled at an ice-cream -
At once,
I melted to buy her!
At ten,
She longed for an attire -
Immediately,
I robed her, stylishly!
At fifteen,
She demanded a laptop -
Instantly,
I purchased it, eagerly!
At twenty,
She disclosed her love -
Shattered -
I was, drastically!
At twenty-three,
She married -
And I greeted her, blissfully -
Enjoy - said I, blessingly!
Came she the next year -
Widowed, sadly!
Incessantly,
Wept I, bitterly!
Breathed her last
The following month -
Followed her I
To the grave, quietly -
Completing the circle!
