A small sister waiting, <br />Waiting for the brother to come home <br />And to tie a colourful wrist band <br />On the hand of the brother, <br />Whose arrival is awaited <br />So much so earnestly. <br /> <br />The brother will come <br />Dressed in new clothes, <br />The sister will come with a dish <br />Into the hands of hers <br />With a candle burning, <br />Sweets and flowers. <br /> <br />She will round the light <br />Around the head, <br />Will paste a red vermillion spot <br />On the forehead of the brother, <br />Make him eat sweets and drink water <br />And pray for his longevity. <br /> <br />The brother too in return <br />Will give some money to the sister, <br />Such a bonding, <br />Where to find, where to get from, <br />You the brother, forget her not, <br />Forget not your sister when far from her.<br /><br />Bijay Kant Dubey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-small-sister-waiting-for-the-brother-to-tie-a-rakhi-on-the-wrist-of-her-brother/
