I Remember

I Remember by Bubbles Kandhari

I remember – I was a shy young bride

Stepping into a new threshold of life

This day today of twenty years

Was filled with apprehension and fears

Song on my lips and stars in my eyes

Dreaming of the beginning of some beautiful ties.

I remember – the first time you held my hand

We are as if in heaven and not on this land

Deeply lost in each other’s eyes

Oblivious to the world’s shouts or cries.

I remember – like all young people in love

Had lots to discover and to discuss

Over each other we would make so much fuss

The world seemed to end if one got cross.

I remember – the now silly quarrels and small tiffs

They added spice to a sometimes dull bit

Expectations run high when we are very young

Tempers volatile with sometimes sharp tongue

But the joy of making up was ever so great

It made up for the tensions the quarrels would create.

I remember – your reaction to our first born

Too nervous to hold but so proud when told

That you were the father of this new born

Your eyes were misty and looks forlorn.

I remember – for the second your pacing back and forth

Wondering why the doctor was not yet brought

When the cry of your son finally heard

With sheer joy you went berserk.

What can we ask from God today

When he has given all without our say

Our greatest treasure our sons today

Please God continue to bless them also we pray.

Lead us on with your kindly light

To do good deeds and reach great heights

We have no cause to fret or worry

Toddy on our twentieth anniversary

Yet another milestone in the life

Of any husband and his wife.

Twenty years of being together

Needs to put our cap a feather

Two decades it is today

But I still remember all

As only just yesterday.
