( Women's Revolution, Sunday, January 16, 2011) By the side of you, rest of your life She vowed you to share grief and strife To be together until depart by death She was the one who kept on you faith Happy moments added to days and years She brought up precious sons and daughters To ease your life with every gladness She swallowed silently any bitter soreness She was to welcome weary you at the door You were in torment, she made it pass slow She assured when you suppressed in fate She was really your faithful soul mate Beach parties at every Saturday night Camping, surfing and adventurous flight For your own pleasure along aims of life Had you ever been nonchalant on your wife? For a slight mishap, you abused her a peak Ending arguments with lavish slaps on cheek Hiding your blunders raised arrogant voice Had you ever been egoistic on her face? Deprived love in her own grand kingdom Tortured her mind at each and every blink Agony buried in her heavy heart fathom It might compel her to make own life sink Could you bloom a lovely fresh blossom From its cleaved petals gone withered? She was merely a fragrant satin blossom Why did you let her life untimely fade? Swarnapali Liyanage 10/08/2011
