Dearest sweetest Sister, <br />Though these words of my <br />Shall surely fall shy <br />Of doing justice <br />To the love that I <br />Have for you, <br />But still, I shall try. <br /> <br />Where should I start? <br />It’s a task but hard. <br />Begin, perhaps, I should <br />By saying that I could <br />Not possibly tell you <br />How beautiful you are <br />On the outside, <br />And on the inside <br />Till the greatest depths <br />Of fathomable existence. <br /> <br />I thank you for your kindness <br />For your care, and concern, <br />And those few brief moments <br />When you have been stern - <br />These precious commodities <br />For which I shall yearn <br />When I am not here, <br />Far away somewhere <br />Outside the field of <br />Your loving gaze <br />At a place <br />Where these ears <br />Shall not hear <br />Your comforting voice. <br /> <br />When I am in the dark - <br />As I often am - <br />With nothing in sight <br />I need you there <br />As my guiding light; <br />I need you there <br />To wipe the tears <br />From my face <br />And keep at bay <br />All my fears <br />With your grace. <br /> <br />I need you to <br />Find me a wife <br />Just like you <br />So that my life <br />May be like those few <br />Fortunate ones <br />That in bliss forever are. <br /> <br />In the end I just pray <br />That you always be there <br />For me <br />As you always have been. <br />Especially <br />As I can't take care <br />Of me <br />By myself, on my own. <br />Without you <br />I shall feel alone <br />And empty.<br /><br />Gaurav Mittal<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/ode-to-my-sister/
