Mehandi art on both hands
Revive my olden days
Aroma of it stir the emotions
Settled in the bottom

Reminds me of my mother in law
Kept on waiting
Sitting in the park in front
The moment she saw
gave me call to make a bowl
full of tea
Took each sip with taste and proud
In front of her age group friends
Told me to touch the feet
of each of her friend
I also obeyed to make her
happy
She felt so proud
and told her friends
"See my daughter in law listen to me"
I smiled with them to take
all her blessings.
She also sometimes showed
her authority
By taking my side
by scolding her son and
husband in front of me
I miss her today
