For My Parents :)






When God made this world
He made it (I'm sure) for
Wonderful People
People like you-
Mom and Dad :)

For all the love
The warmth
Tenderness and joy
You gave us;
The tears, sorrow
Happiness
You shared with us...

For the lessons you taught us
The strength you gave us
The independence and faith
You inspired in us...

A prayer for you:
That joy will dog you, always;
That sorrow may be a thing
Of the past;
That you may enjoy the company
Of you great-grand children;
That you may be together
Beyond eternity;
That you may find peace
And may it always be with you...

Always...

This, and life's totality
We hope, will be yours, this day

And always...

Our dearest
Soulmakers.

Today, 7 December, is my parents' wedding anniversary. Just rewinding to an old write, to wish them :) The picture is of them, a couple of days after they got married, way back to almost fifty years ago.

  8. Wishing your parents a very happy anniversary and many many more years of happiness, peace and prosperity!

    Parents, undoubtedly are the most wonderful people ever! But for them, our progress, success and happiness, all of them stand irrelevant and unattainable!

    Good post! Quite a tribute, I must say!

  14. Usha,
    My wishes to your parents on their 'almost' fiftieth anniversary.
    I remember I organised a very grand affair on my parents 25th anniversary a dozen years back. I am glad I did that because my mom passed away a few years later.
    Regards,
    Salil
