She stepped into my life 1 year ago
And every moment of the day, we spent together
Has left a memory, some painful, some dear
Somehow I know, I will never forget her
She’ll be leaving me tonight
And I know I’ll never see her again
But she’s given me so much during her stay
Indebted to her, I shall, always remain
Some moments I will cherish, forever
And there were things, that should not have happened
But now it is too late, for having regrets
’Cause now it’s all just coming, to an end
This has been happening with me
All through the years, yes, it’s happened before
One after the other, a beauty would always
Walk in to my life, who, I would always adore
With a thousand new promises, and plans
She would make me feel she was here to stay
Life always seemed a dream, that’s come true
But then she would say goodbye & leave one day
Yes life must go on, as time goes by
So there’s no use of sitting & crying
And so now the time for her to go, has come
It’s the truth, there’s no use, denying
Though I would like to see her again
I know she’ll never return
Because as she goes on her way
All the bridges, she will burn
So it’s best to say goodbye to her
With a warm smile and a big hug
And when she has left and gone
I’ll just put out a new Welcome rug
I know the next one will bring with her
Prosperity, peace, happiness and cheer......
So I’m ready to welcome 2012 as she arrives
And I wish all you guys, a HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!
Happy New Year to you too, Dad! What a way to welcome the new year! Great work, and I loved the way you liken each new year to different beautiful ladies...I always thought of it as baby New Year :) Adding new perspectives yet again, huh?! ;) And the pic of the 2012 rug adds more charm to our lovely poem :)
ReplyDeleteLove you and keep writing the whole year through! Have the best year ever! :*
What a lovely way to bid farewell to 2011 and welcome 2012. Yes, now a days I am becoming an expert at guessing what you mean by your beauties. Even though it makes me J when I read about so many beauties in your life,( how come you see everything as beauties instead of any thing else??) but I can’t help my curiosity getting the better of me and trying to guess from the second line onwards and looking for clues in your poem.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully written , as always. Lovely words and lovelier examples and you put the simple words together and make such wonderful poetry. Hats off to you Johnu. I loved it. Keep writing. I love to read your posts and that was what I was missing till now. When I read it , I enjoy it even more. Looking forward to your next post.

Yippee! As promised, I guessed this one right upfront B)
ReplyDelete2011 really was a year to be cherished... right from the word 'Go', I got the feel it was my year and it truly turned out to be mine! Sighs! Did she have to go?!
Anyway she did leave us with a new companion and a new promising start which is actually a continuation of where we left off with her...
Happy 2012! It's indeed turning out that way after starting off on a high note... fingers crossed for each year outdoing the magic of 2011 :)
Even though this one was clear right from the 1st line, I sort of imagined a guy having bad luck in his love life where he lost girl after spending exactly an year with her, and cherishing the good and bad memories with her !
ReplyDelete2011 for me was a turning point of sorts; I shall forever hold this year close to me :)
Lovely writing and awesome descriptions as usual :)
Happy 2012 ( even though I am late in wishing it here)
