AROUND THE BEND WE WILL MEET!

Here I am! wishing I were dead too...

The world came crashing , one day,

leaving me standing by,


God took away a flower in his garden,

my soulmate! my love!

we journeyed together for a decade and half,

grew up together, loved and faught together,

now I am helplessly gazing standing by.


The girls hanging on to their mom,

relieved atlast that the agony has ended,

Pain taking over their dad, the screams! the cries

now will not echo in the young ears...

seeing a withering form, day in and day out

they stood mutely standing by....


The society didnt leave me free,

the tag of a widow came very easy

the red kumkum was denied very cruelly

I wept, at their mercilessness...

couldnt do a thing, was lost, standing by..


The world was an easy place to live

till the shadow of his self left me

then came the blank calls

to scare me,and get me running!

but i lived on..with his spirit standing by..


The girls grew up, turned the clock forward...

beautiful damsels, made us proud

I lived for them, smiled for them

and thus moved, the LIFE, with us standing by....


Today the young birds have left the nest,

with their chosen ones,to make their own,

now I await my turn, to be with him

waiting for my love, standing by...


Around the bend we will meet,

were his last words...

and till we meet, I will live! standing by..
