Raksha Bandhan

Sleeping peacefully I heard voices in my bed,

“Lunar Eclipse from 10 to 2 !”, they said.

I heard a thing more that filled me with fun,

Tomorrow was an auspicious festival, “RAKSHA BANDHAN”.

I jumped off my bed out of excitement and joy,

This festival was one moment that made me feel like a Big Boy.

Wrists full of rakhis and face full of smile,

This festival had the power to break the distances worth miles.

A sister sitting in Australia sends a rakhi to her brother in Amritsar

While one ties rakhis to the statue of her martyr brother.

One prays for the good achievement of her little brother day-boarder,

And one prays for the wellness of the hers at the border.

Barring the age the brother is sworn to take care of her sister,

Till and even after she has her own charming mister.

A bond that is to be cherished and loved forever,

Is made stronger when a sister ties rakhi to her brother.

I wish my sisters tied me rakhis personally with their hands,

It would have given me happiness worth more than a million grands.

I wish I could turn back the clock and bring back that time,

And cherish all those moments under the rime.
