I know a lovely lady
who lives in the region of my heart,
of all the people I love so dearly,
she stands a world apart,
memories of our childhood together,
imprinted like footprints on wet sand,
the little girl who walked to school,
now matured like good wine,
often a firebrand,
her wisdom is of life's travails
borne stoically and without fear,
though I am the elder one
sometimes I think she's my peer,
always helping, always kind,
she my therapist and my guide,
often has helped me thru difficult times.
brushed my fears aside,
she a mover and a pusher,
that fact itself is for sure,
but in matters of the heart
.she is so clean and so very pure,
we form an awesome twosome,
I like to think thats true,
such closeness and such love
is found in very few,
I pray to God to bless her
and always give her peace,
may her happiness be forever
and her wisdom never cease
though I am far away from you,
in spirit we are so near
my love will always flow to you
my darling Jyoti
so beloved and so dear.
