My Special Family

Sure enough, you’re not my blood

Yet you are, more than that

The little time I got with you

I cherish like a child with a beautiful flower.

My face blooms, every time you call me your sister

A feeling etched so deep & strong within me

A cosmic connection of utmost affection

Care, love & concern for me, is all that I see

How lucky am I to have you, my brother

Maybe from another mother

Yet you are special & dearest to me.

Your happiness & joy is all I want to see

Your giving heart, only for people truly worthy, let it be

Take care of yourself, for your wife & me

Cause you’re both the ones who matter to me.

We are family, my special family

Which nobody would understand,

It’s a blessing for me, it’s extremely special, so to speak

So please take care of yourselves, even if it’s just for me.

Please, I plead, you have this sister -

Who wants you both to be happy & together forever always

God’s with you & so am I

To do whatever best, in every possible way

I swear you can count on me.

I can’t thank you both enough for all your love & care

So comfortable, my heart I can bare

With peace & love & experiences, we have shared

With my little Veera, he’s so damn rare.

Missing our times together, missing the weekend Nasi lama

Oh! I forgot those coconut covered softballs, left in the fridge

Devoured the coconut jelly, just before I rushed

I had the time of my life!!!

Thank you, would be a very small word for all that gratitude I feel

I can only thank god for having given this family

My most loving sister in law, the best hostess ever

For treating me like a baby & a queen!
