SOMETHING I LOOK AT-11
BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY

MY SISTER

True is that thread of love
True are those captivating moments
True is that fascinating world
True is that early childhood
For which one can live and die

True is that mother's womb
That gave birth to you and me
True is that lovely sister
Who only loved and loved
Expecting nothing in reciprocation
True are those hands that picked my fingers
And taught me
How to walk on the thorny path of life
And make it to the top

True are the disasters
We encountered
True are those catastrophes
We witnessed
True is the way you fought
Stood rock solid
And safely brought us ashore

True is the sweetest of relationships
We had
And the nicest of moments
We shared
True is the manner in which
We fought and encountered
The ups and downs of life
And came out with flying colours

True is that
The most beautiful thing
That can happen to man
Is a woman
Who in all her forms
Fulfils and completes a man
True that the cutest of relationships
One can ever have is with a sister
A perfect companion and a true guide
Whose only concern is her brother's wellbeing

True is that
A brother is never too old
To have the hands of a sister
On his head
And
He is never big enough
To miss that delicate touch
The thread of love
Thatbinds for a lifetime
One with the other
