A Valentine to My Wife


Posted on 16th Feb 2014 07:03 pm by admin

Accept, dear girl, this little token,
And if between the lines you seek,
You'll find the love I've often spoken—
The love my dying lips shall speak.

Our little ones are making merry
O'er am'rous ditties rhymed in jest,
But in these words (though awkward—very)
The genuine article's expressed.

You are as fair and sweet and tender,
Dear brown-eyed little sweetheart mine,
As when, a callow youth and slender,
I asked to be your Valentine.

What though these years of ours be fleeting?
What though the years of youth be flown?
I'll mock old Tempus with repeating,
"I love my love and her alone!"

And when I fall before his reaping,
And when my stuttering speech is dumb,
Think not my love is dead or sleeping,
But that it waits for you to come.

So take, dear love, this little token,
And if there speaks in any line
The sentiment I'd fain have spoken,
Say, will you kiss your Valentine?

But you're still so far away.

You're always in my heart

Life can seem an endless maze,

The twists and turns, lulls and delays,

But things

THODA SAMAJH LO

 

Thoda tum mujhe samajh lo, thoda main tumhe samjh lu! 

Aur kaaran is

Meri zindgi ki kahani

Meri zindgi ki kahani hi khatm ho gai,

jab pyar se bola unhone i m sorry.

Live Life To Fullest

Life is like an old house; it gets used,

worn-out and old.

Then it's time to move

Live In The Now

Look not back on yesterday

or what you have left behind.

For only today is yours
