Pari - A Fairy (For my friend, philosopher, guide)

by Bhavin   Aug 4, 2006


Little do the people know
About this special fairy.
Is that some find her lovable
While others find her scary.
Her nature is cool but not her talks
As sometimes they sound unfair.
But people adore her guts and strength
To stand up and smile in despair.

Her eyes are always on the goal
And her memory is like a shark.
She is concerned about needy ones
And that is her great benchmark.
She carries out tough responsibilities
As tough and heavy as boulders.
Though she might look sometimes weak
But has strength in her shoulders.

She forgets to live for herself
By thinking about family and friends.
And she would stick to her decisions
No matter if the world ends.
She does not share her sorrows because
She cries in front of God
She believes He is the only one
Who can help her win all odds.

Though she has many good qualities
Her mood can be as bad as one can
She has got her own pros and cons
As balanced as ying-yang.
Though she is not a simpleton
But she is surely compared to a fairy.
She is called by many names but...
I wish I could call her PARI...

***************************
Wish you a very happy Raksha Bandhan, sis....
This is the best way I can gift you something.

    Wow! that was great, Bhavin. very nicely done - especially the way you portrayed her good side and not so good. That's what makes each of us - a combination of both ying and yang.

    very well done.

    love and luck
