Summer

Bright rays of sun grazing the meadows Sparkling light beaming from leaves and flowers Hands and hats shielding faces in furrows Heat washed away by cooling monsoon showers Birds migrating from places yonder Mountains standing bare and tall Rivers flowing with zest and wonder Cascades of water fiercely fall Long days enlivening the streets Summery dresses with bows and pleats Cool drinks and ice cream treats Laughter, gaiety and festive beats Family visits and vacations galore Fun times and adventures abound Grandparents passing on fascinating tales of lore These are the days we wait for all year round

Friend

When the road ahead seems bumpy And the spirit has taken a thrashing Trouble is looming large And you need someone to give you strength When the will dies down And the heart is heavy Unshed tears are waiting to fall And you need a shoulder to cry on When you have fallen into the depth of despair And the future appears bleak Present is hopeless And you need someone to lift you up When you are confused And the mind is in a muddle Decisions are difficult to make And you need someone to hear you The one who reaches out and gives you strength The one you seek and whose shoulder you cry on The one who listens to you and gives you selfless advice Is a friend to cherish forever and to never let go

Journeys and Destinations

Hair blowing lightly in the gentle breeze Face glowing in the warm rays from the rising sun Wishing for the happy moment forever to freeze Hoping for endless days of joy and fun Anticipation slowly building up in the heart A happy smile lurking on the lips Of the serene surrounds, wanting to be a part Travelling on narrow paths with rises and dips Looking forward to blissful days by the sea Waiting for peaceful hours of relaxation Crossing endless greens of many a lea Passing milestones bringing closer the destination Getting there after hours and hours of travel Sitting in the white and wet sands of the shoal Hands full of sand and feet in the gravel All she did was thought of the next goal
