Ode to Wife
What a change
From bouncy, bubbly and vivacious
To determined, devoted and dedicated
More than ever
Reassuring, soothing and caring
Pious and profound
The serene figure with large persona
From autumn aromas to Spring bloom
From silent nights to morning choir
Mild, soft and oblivious of herself
Flowing from one room to another
The cool breeze of devotion and care
The selfless soul, bereft of comfort
Merging herself with unending chores
Fifty years gone like a whisper
Time changed into history
Oblivion ruled and embraced all
Entering into the body and mind
Of a dire and distinct man
Spending herself at the altar of
Commitment, tradition and destiny
Still solo and undiffused, but mellowed
She is the inevitable guest in my life
Keeping inside her bosom
The treasure of olden days
With grown up children
Gone to their destinations
The lady ethereal always sings inside me
