A Vanilla Bond
It is a bond knitted at first instance
That sparks off a soothing fragrance,
As seductive as a vanilla scent
That captivates the heart without relent.
It is a bond knitted since youthful days
That has tightened day in day out
Through every shine of the sun and its blaze,
Through mutual love and abstinence of doubt.
It is a bond that has been fortified
By the ardent wish and will of two souls;
It is a bond that has been sanctified
By the blessings of parents as a whole.
It is a bond that has been fastened
Through summer and wintry seasons
With mutual care and devotion,
With true passion and emotion.
This bond has not been a stranger
To ups and downs, to stress and strains
To petty squabbles and anger,
But these have been fixed without pain,
This is a bond that ties two souls
Beyond the bounds of time and space,
For better or for worse as a whole
In all storms in life they may face.
This is a bond that tells the tale
Of two souls mounting their last vales,
Battered by gales and storms of life
But still not shattered by the strife.
This is a bond that tells the tale
Of the fitting art of living,
Of living that is inspiring
Beyond an atom of a veil.
Let the vanilla perfume of their bond
Outlive their last breath and still spread beyond
To serve as lively and lovely lessons
For youth who wish to scan the horizon.
