Winter is Coming

Good morning sun, it’s a day off for you,

The farms here smell of hay,

Winter’s coming, say cheerful all –

It’s a foggy foggy day.

Chilling breeze blow, the flowers sleep,

The cattle too shy to wake.

The Misty veil covers the sky,

To camouflage day break.

The morning tea, appeals to me –

Says “relax a bit my dear.

Fog has shone, don't lose your guts –

It says that winter’s here”.

BIRTHDAY BLISS

Dedicated to My Niece Smitakshi on her Birthday:

It’s a beautiful world my niece,

In which you opened your eyes.

Such splendid beauty, blessings and love,

Amidst every single thing lies.

So learn to live a life of love,

Of gleeful mirth and song.

You mean the world to your parents today,

Their life and their beloved all along.

Never ever you let them down,

Be their divine angel sweet.

To see you on your feet, happy one day,

To them would be a treat.

I hear the bells of merriment toll,

Keeping all gloom at bay,

With all my heart I wish you now –

A Very Happy BIRTHDAY.
