A Prayer !

sisterhood !

 Oye dIds , this one’s for you ! =)

The tiny hands that managed to pick me from my cozy cradle…

and the lovable back, had been once tied to...so I may not fall..;)

those fairy tales that you had told me along our paddle :)

Oh! how I wish to get back it all…I cherish it all!

the way we used to play all day long !

making houses of mud, and hoping that they should never fall..

the number of skippings and the races we had..

the way we fought over whom loves more-mom and dad :P !

the times you carried my school bag,

and the times I did your homework..

those poems…that in place of you..,I'd crammed..

those thousands of pacts and deals we had...!

exchanging stuffs from frocks to socks..

that royal leisure spent sitting idly on rocks :P

adorning the walls with that modern art…

and hiding behind each other when being caught :D

the times we had quarrelled...

and just decided ceasing to talk !

And chatting wantonly, the very next moment...

and then realizing...ooops!  we had fought!! :p

knowing your coming by the anklets that chimed..

those magic words that sometimes rhymed :P

that unruliness, and freedom of yelling aloud..

the childhood’s wonder of riding the clouds :P

sailing the paper boats in the rain water ,

into inverted umbrellas , trying the same to gather ..

rushing to roofs for splashing and dancing...

and tasting the drops with tongues outwards sticking :P

the cherries we cherished… ;)

and the treasured candies that perished :P

the lofty buildings of coins..

the richness of those joys !

those wounds of mine..

that lifted your sighs..

that togetherness laughter..

and those parting cries ! :’(

all those “one day I will be” dreams , we night long shared,

and enacting mom , whenever she stared :P

those artistic diversions whenever we get bored..

uff! those heavy nights when you snored !:P

.

.

.

.

and now…when the childhood is but a memory,

I relish it as my biggest treasury !

If ever given a wish to ask for…

That time with you will be my prior thievery :P

when paths had muddled , and I could not see through ,

you have been my light house to pave my view,

Whenever life seemed dull and hopes were few..

I saw you bringing for me the hands full of hue !

Those million pecks that you gave to my once plump cheeks ...;)

and a trillion I gave back to yours :P

there's  a pilgrimage I must 've made in my last birth..

to be your little sister :)
