Not Just One In Million, But Million Virtues In One
My sky is having million stars, difficult to pick one in million
All having own shine, ranking any one sure to cause a rebellion
Yet, numero uno tracked by merits through process of elimination
Selection complete, its results time, my better half is one in million
Spoilt brat was I, uncensored were bachelor days of life
She stepped in, anchoring work and family as dream wife
Space and freedom she carved out with love’s knife
Boundless joy bloomed within new boundaries of life
She is mother of my children, my sky lit with two sons bright
Groomed in academics, sons featuring in India’s and State’s merit list
Nurtured them to evolve as good humans in world full of beast
High Moral Values embedded, family’s beacon ensured perpetual light
During my health scare, she was by my bed as Nightingale
Deftly coordinating with surgeons, calming kith & kin anxiety well
Science powerful tool for new life, her devotion powering Yama* to repel
Am fit and fine, enjoying blissful moments, gratitude to my Life’s angel
Am managing big in outside world, but at home am lost without her
Cooking, clothes, children, many chores she worships, never does she forbear
She holds the castle, hosting love, peace, joy, keeping at bay grief and fear
Not just one in million, but million virtues are in one - my dear treasure
(*) Yama : As per Hindu mythology Yama is Death deity
