Intact
* The day I arrived
Warm greetings by Mother and
Inquisitive you.
* Love being showered
Delicate loving handling
Centre of focus.
* Each passing moment
Sisterly bonds kept blooming
Exciting childhood.
* Balu and Mowgli
The world was our jungle and
We learnt much from all.
* Turning quite mature
Our thoughts and steps diverged but
We remained childlike.
* All kinds of secrets
Pure infatuations, held
By controlled conscience.
* Then along came him
Taking you away from home -
Your new paradise.
* Two soon became one
A blossoming family
Home away from home.
* The distance grows wide
Priorities keep shifting
Connected by heart.
* The solace you give
Though delayed, keeps us intact.
True sisterly love...
