Remembering the Life Partner

Remembering the life partner
On this day, when she came to bless my life
Three decades ago 
To share and to give 
The most beautiful company and ways
And to inspire me to live this life
Without the quarrels 
And difference
In the most peaceful and loving manner
Like a beautiful marriage couple. 01
.
We hardly had any differences 
On any issues of our day today life 
Which was the loftiest gift
From my dear wife Shashi 
And it became a source of strength 
And confidence for me 
In shaping me as a small poet and writer
A thinker and a human being
If nothing else is taken into considerations. 02
.
In the entire period 
Of my marriage life
I was blessed by her wonderful sweet company
And trust,
Her love, understanding and confidence
Which always accompanied me 
In every situation good, bad or worst
Like the true friend 
And a partner
Of a wonderful companionship. 03
.
Enjoying lots of tea 
By both of us
Were our common everyday craze
And common simple food habits
Were our main everyday joys, 
Which we loved, shared and enjoyed
Like others relish
The delicious royal tasty meals. 04
.
Of course, watching a good movie 
In a cinema house 
Was her favorite hobby
If not regular one 
But as and when any good movie comes
Were our joint attractions. 05

Andrea Dietrich Date: 1/22/2018 6:34:00 PM Ravindra, this has to be such a special day for you. I know the pain you have felt since her recent death. Also Victor here lost his wife last year. I think from this description you had an utterly blissful marriage. Gosh, my husband won't go out to movies with me and we often eat different dishes because he won't permit me to cook him healthy foods. So weird, huh? It would be nice to have so much in common with one's mate, as you had with dear Shashi. Login to Reply Ravindra K Kapoor Date: 1/27/2018 4:19:00 AM Thanks dear friend Andrea for your kind expressions. Yes she was a little unique in few things. Your husband too would take you to movies the day you would learn one Indian secret that the road to a man's heart goes through his stomach. If you can cook things or can manage foods which he likes, soon he would begin to do things which you like & love. Just try it. Love & best wishes 4 both of U
