Aroma scented magnolias
In the air sweet sensation
Filled with shades of white
Lingering fragrant carry
           In the air
Each little square of grass
Feels soft along the rocks
Sweetness is everywhere
Summer is near
Enjoy the sweetness

Though many years have passed,
I  still miss you,
But I feel your presence everyday.
I have treasured a piece of your everyday wear with me,
And whenever I miss you -quite often,
I touch, feel and smell your clothes,
It gives me joy as if you have just hugged me.
You are always with me mum,
In the bangles you gave me,
In some of the same food tastes we share,
In some gestures and habits I have you,
Some say,"You look like your mum".

Used in hundreds of recipes,
Blends with many dishes,
But retains its own taste.
It is positive,
Believes in itself,
And knows it's own value.

Nothing is more beautiful,
And peaceful,
Than mother nature's glory,
You must have read in a story.
Nature lovers trekking up the mountains,
With it's cascading fountains,
And gurgling rivers meandering happily,
Over rocks and finally into lakes and the sea safely.
In the forest tall trees vye for a cup of sunshine,
Too the creepers and vines,
Whilst the leaves sing their song in the whispering breeze,
Accompanied by an orchestra of a snake hiss,
A monkey's chatter, buzz of bees,
Click click of butterflies,
As they hover from flower to flower,
Each bloom brings to the soul hope and laughter.
And as seasons  change one may,
Glimpse nature's beauty in new ways.
Spring is a water colour,
Shaking off winter's slumber,
New beginnings,
Rebirth and plants blooming.
Autumn is a grand finale,
Bliss, the last smile,
As gold, red and auburn leaves fly, flutter and fall.
Appreciate winter's first snowflakes,
Freezing the rivers and lakes,
Draping the naked trees and landscape in white
Glittering in the sunlight.
Summer is fun,
With the ever smiling sun,
Under clear blue skies
To enjoy different outdoor activities,
Relaxing on warm sandy beaches,
Fishing, trekking, swimming,
Time for easy living.

I was one,
Alone and no fun,
Then I met him,
Man of my dream.
Soon in the Church we said "I do",
And became two,.
Married life was a blessing,
But something was missing,
So we became three,
Ñow it was not him and me,,
But we wanted more,
So we became four,
Then five, six,
I told him no more heroics,
Enough us two and four kids,
Let's put on the lid.

I stool in front of the mirror
Looked at myself for long,
Whilst two pair of eyes sat on the bed and looked at me lovingly,
I turned this way and that way,
Am I beautiful I mumbled,
Are my eyes big,
Are my lips thin,
Have I a captivating smile,,
I looked at my physique,
Seems okay.
Then I felt two pairs of arms around my waist,
Mum we love you,
You are you,
Unique,
You are beautiful from deep within.
That is your worth.

If you want to keep your self respect and dignity,
Do not reminisce too much of old memories,
People tend to get bored.
Maintain cleanliness,
Don't be sloppy.
Do not be stubborn,
Try to give in and adjust.
Do not complain often about your pains and discomforts,
People around you will get fed up.
Be open to new trends, thoughts and technology,
It will strengthen your bond with new generations.
Let us visit grandma and grandpa,
They are funny and weird,
We enjoy their company.
