the gift.....

Holding on to that tiny finger,
smiling in awe and kiddie wonder!

running to the pram when mummy's not around..
carefully lifting the new entrant sleeping sound!

talking in class, caught by cherian ms, who scolds,
"what were u discussing?" "teacher! my sis is 4 days old!"

protection from school bullies and daddie's spanks,
sumtimes yr best buddy,sumtimes a lethal foe of the highest ranks!



the "certified" sneak who steals proudly from ya wardrobe..
spying over yr messages..linking u with imaginary heartthrobs!:p

sometimes yr partner for midnite hogs,
sometimes the force behind early morn jogs!

grumpily scurring to mum for daily complaints that never cease...
but knocking a 3rd person who pin-points!" mind ya business please!":)

your support system through life's morbid mire,
yr companion in the last journey all along till the pyre..

then why do things change as years pass by?
why is saying "sorrie" not as easy as before?
why arent patch-ups not initiated within a few minutes?
why do fights move beyond who'll get the window seat?
why do bank balances surpass the jointly owned" piggy bank"?
why does envy malign the once "best buddy's think tank"?

not evryones blessed with such companionship,
walking beside you in this roller-coaster trip..

you may have money, fame, material riches..almost EVRYTHING...
but ure truly wealthy ONLY when u VALUE the GIFT of a SIBLING!

Mustaf said...

I am not sure which is cuter the picture or the poem :)

I could relate to each and every incidents. You make friends and some of them become your closest buddies, but with sibling, you get one of your best buddy without asking for it, truely GOD's blessings.

Hi Divsi

Thanks for dropping by:-) Your post was so cute and beautiful specially the poem. I don’t have a sibling so really in my growing years I never had those moments. But I have a big joint family and a whole bunch of cousins who really love me a lot and we are really close.Beautifully written.

u made me realize d imp of my bro.... i really used to hate him n fight with him very much.....n things werent such gud.....mom dad were fed up.....but i guess now things r changing....thankzzzzz !!!!!!!

grace said...

That was really beautiful Divsi.
Specially I loved the lines -
"talking in class, caught by cherian ms, who scolds,
"what were u discussing?" "teacher! my sis is 4 days old!"
I keep on quoting my mentor and here i go again - "There is nothing which cannot be solved with love."
True it is. I remember reading once that when Alexander the Great neared his death he asked his retinues to make his palms face up when he dies so that people can see that even the most powerful of kings went empty handed.
There is truly nothing that lasts beyond love and the valuable moments of joy and sharing.
Wish all happy loving and meaningful living!
P.S. I have finally been able to fix up the problem in my blog. will be glad to have you drop in once.
Cya!
