Soniya, the unique one

 

Soniya my friend,

So dear to my heart,

She lives in my mind,

And has always a part,

In my life, at every step.

She brings a lovely smile,

To every grieving face,

With her great wit and humour,

That knew neither rest nor haste,

 

Lovely, she is,

But thinks herself small,

She herself knows not,

What her true worth is,

Great are the people,

Who can make fun of themselves,

And laugh at their own follies,

As heartily as you wish,

My friend is one such dame,

And will forever remain so,

It is thus that everyone calls her,

One little drop of sunshine

 

She cures one of sadness,

Within a single moment,

Her mad laughter and cheer,

Wash away every tear.

To behold her small figure,

Cackling with pleasure,

Is a sight no less,

Than a priceless treasure.

I would like to tell you friend,

Though I never told it to your face,

It was true richness I found,

When I first saw your pretty face.

Pretty and cherubic

Is how you are to my eye,

And forever my own,

I will call you every time.
