My Family


I stepped into this house without trepidation or doubt,
‘Cause she welcomed me with arms open wide, not a bout!
Treated me as her own blood; like her own daughter
Whom she met in life, but just a little bit later!

An elder sister whom I never had, took me
Under her wings, as I trod the delicate trail,
Her love and affection, never to pale
Embracing me with happiness and glee.

She’s a mirror image, of my loving granny,
Meeting her seemed like, it was destiny.
Her kind words subtly touched my soul,
Developing a bond, deep and whole.

His unspoken words, but earnest actions,
The solemnity of a father, concealing emotions.
Eyes bestowing warmth, showering blessings,
Unassuming, restrained, hiding pains and hurtings.

The household that now, I claim as mine,
Is my backbone and my spine; their enthusiasm
And appreciation is difficult elsewhere to find;
A Godsend family that is as loving as kind!

  1. Malavika it takes immense sensitivity and sensibility to express gratitude to our own people, whose presence we take for granted in our lives… You have shown a great sense by penning the feelings in such a nice description… Great!
