Today is Valentine’s Day. And was our 25th anniversary 2 days back. This is a poem I have written for my wife. The love of my life, my strength as well as my weakness.

She comes back from work
Tired and Fatigued
Her face hiding
What I saw years ago.

Have to wait for a while
As the mess in the house
Will wrinkle her forehead
And widen her eyes

As those clouds pass by
She heats up the meal
Then bakes a yummy cake
With an enchanting smile

Passing of many years
Nor the dull chores
Have dulled her passion
Nor her zest for life.

I see her every day
And it’s never been enough
The girl I saw
Is the same everyday.
