Love – A beautiful gift

a poem by Pooja Rajeendranath

When two children play, and one of them falls
To a safer place, he is hauled,
By his friend, who uses his only shirt
To bandage his wounds while playing in the dirt.
“I have nothing for tomorrow”, this thought he will shove
Between best friends, this is the bond of love.

A mother is nursing her crying child
Hungry and screaming, she was going wild;
She will stay up all night without a wink of sleep,
For she cannot bear to see her child weep;
The touch of a mother makes a crying child so mild
This is love between a mother and her child.

When his parents were tired, he took care of her
Putting her to sleep and seeing that she did not even stir,
A surprise birthday party when their parents were away,
Beautiful love for a sister in a brotherly way.

An embodiment of excellence, a bag full of care,
An ocean of knowledge she has to share,
When her wards are in trouble, she is always there,
The love for her students in a teacher is always there.

As the day ends and he waits for the sun to go,
He longs to admire her face in the moonlight glow,
She longs to be in his arms, for they are always there
To comfort her in trouble and shower her with care
Fun and laughter, they always share
Such love between two lovers is never so rare.

Love has many forms, as we have already seen
The cheapest gift to give, always remains so clean;
We all have love in our hearts
And someone to whom we can give;
Let us spread joy and happiness through love
And make the world a better place to live.
