Poetry by Baisakhi Das

This journey will never end

I know this journey will never end
Because you are my sister, my bestfriend
Just a few precious steps down the road that you walk.
With your radiant smile turning heads-how they gawk!

There’ll be times of great joy!Of great mirth and hurrah
Filled with laughter and song,that you’ll wonder how far
Will the highest pitch peal of your giggles resound
In these moments enjoy! It is beauty profound!

There’ll be times filled with woe,I am sorry to say
As life’s journey won’t always go in the desired way
Let your deepest of hope and your strongest desires
Fight with valour and grit ‘gainst such anguish and fires

Be through all this excitement the cheer and groan
Know that none face this challenge adulthood alone
For the ones that you love,all your family,your friends
Will be walking beside you at each of life’s bends
