Familial the ties siblings we are
Brought up with love care discipline and protection
Values inculcated deep
Respect and love we all each other
Hold it strong in the heart
Hurt we can never bring to each other
Stand together in testing times forever
Raising high the baton of love today
Passing it on to the generation next
To relay it in the timeless tomorrow
Raksha Bandhan - the festival of the bond of love and protection, shared by brothers and sisters .
The sister ties a sacred thread / amulet on the brother’s wrist , and prays for the well being and protection of her brother.
The brother promises the same and showers the sister with gifts .

We walked around the
park and came across a sweet
garden of flowers

All trimmed so lovely
not a bud out of place and the
sun shone happily

Was there we saw a
wishing pond full of silver
gold and bronze money

So we made a wish
Plonk plonk plonk is what we heard
as the coins lie still

Jennifer was near
by , watering the new buds
Butteflies fluttered

there ivory wings
whispering sweet lyrics to
birds flying in sky

We came across a
monkey , he ****** to its cage
Dean said its hungry

It was colour of
midnight , full of gentleness
Contentment for sure

Dean pulled a twig of
leaves off a tall plant for the
monkey , who I thought

had smiled in its own
animal way , but all of
a sudden two girl

monkeys colour of
a rising sun tried to rule
the roast , so dean gave

them some leaves too , but
they seemed adamant to pinch
the males food , we did

have a giggle and
told the girl monkeys to shoo
They just ignored us

We saw elephants
Skin like a hundred years old
Eyes like big diamonds

One seven foot tall
Jennifer flew by smiling
sprinkling sunlight

upon there hay , we
saw a monkey eat a fly
It picked off its wings

threw them to the ground
and ate its body ,it was
a fascinating

moment, Flight never
to be lowered only to be
born again to life

Oh I loved the big
leopard she was amazing
Her fur so unique

Her temperament so
kind so loving so happy
Man as been her friend

It was a lovely
day and Jennifer enjoyed
herself too , she sang

a song making the
sun giggle so much , its teeth
fell upon warm earth

leaving sparkles in
ponds and glistens upon cars
and smiles in clouds

We all drank ice cold
water and ate some chips and
a panini with

cheese and tomato!
We drove home feeling happy
And the sky was too
Yesterday we visited a wildlife park it was truly lovely lots of the animals are becoming extinct and this particular park as given many of the animals a really lovely kind loving enviroment to live in :)))

You fear that I like him..
(And I think it might be true)
You say that you love me...
(But I’m not sure I believe you)
The Bitter Gourd
Spiked like a Crocodile's back
Bitter it tastes
keeps
Blood Sugar levels
In Check

All The Confectionery and Sweets
Tasty &
Tempting to Eat
Stimuli To
Blood Sugar Levels
Imbalance
Bitter Gourd 'karela ' in Hindi , despised by the kids and many adults alike , health benefits it has many .
And who doesn't like sweets, not always good for health.

Lightly Put :
For today's prompt
Horrible: Adorable.
Love is abstract ,so it attracts.
One feeling  , universal  to all living beings.

Plants ,loved and nurtured ,swing and sway to the music played .
Holding roots, withstanding storms ,Going lush green when truly loved .
Bearing nuts and berries or flowers in bloom .
What a sight to behold .

Animals , you feed them ,pets or non pets ,they follow you everywhere ,
Wanting to have more and giving back even more ,Love that is .

Humans , blessed of all the beings,
We can express  ourselves through thoughts and words .
Love we receive from and reciprocate to
parents siblings spouse children friends and all fellow beings .

It's true that some barren fields do not yield
Should it stop one from looking beyond,
There are greener pastures waiting to be found.
God's ways and love is profound.

If I could , I would be a floating pontoon to the many lost souls ,
Bridging their path and holding them together,
Till eternity !!
Coz love in abundance I have found.
Once more , sharing it here  :)
Thanks

Midas touch of Sun
Sunny side up , yellow white blooms
Balmy morning in March

Bees and birds flap wings
Feasting on the sunny side up
Flowers of summer

The backyard is merry
Green grass and grasshoppers blend
A colour divine


A memory , from an old photograph
