Time is the essence of everything,
Sorrow and happiness, both it will bring,
All you have to do is watch and wait;
For time will open every gate.
...

Around fourteen years ago,
Neither the sun had set nor did the moon glow;
A sweet, little princess came here down,
In this world, when the angels took a blissful bow!
...

It was only a year ago,
When an eventful jaunt started,
A course to learn and grow;
With you and just a septet.
...

Hope when you woke up today,
The sunshine showed its way,
Through the darkness of night and sadness,
To enlighten this incredible day with its brightness!
...

15 years ago you were out on a jaunt,
A journey of life, a mission of want.
To change the world a little by little;
Sometimes smooth, sometimes fickle.
...

Strange things are;
Neither close, nor too far.
But there resides a time unknown,
Memories of which, secured in a jar.
...

I wonder how that day will be-
When destiny will separate them and me.
Remember I will, the sound of the ringing bell,
Even after the day of my farewell.
...

You are someone, in front of whom I don't have to pretend;
Your warmness is better than a friend!
You keep me just in line,
whether whilst scolding or stories of bedtime.
...

Swept off by your smile,
Across your grin, I traced a 'hi'.
Then also I was-
awaiting one - awaited reply.
