For Bhiya


My Bhiya (My Brother)


You came into our lives like a shooting star
Very close to our heart, though now you are very far
You are one and only, none other like you
I will always love you and that will forever be true
I clearly remember the time when we first met
Your smile on that day I can never forget
‘Tall, friendly, constantly joking and making everyone laugh’
It was so much fun that spending time with you was never enough
We shared many memories, joyful moments and laughter
Makes me smile because that’s my life’s best chapter
Birthdays, longdrives, timeless addas, cooking and fun
That summer of 2007 at house-69 was the best one
I can go on with every little moment we all shared
Lifetime of memories, with those nothing can be compared
I am glad cause, I was blessed to have a brother like you
You aren’t just my Bhiya, but my guardian and a best friend too.
You guided me when I was lost, gave me strength when I was weak
Every little thing you had done made you special and unique
I am lucky to be your ‘Pichchi’ and lucky to be your sister
I have learned so much from you that made my life better
You advised me, protected me and guided me to do right
You were always there for me and made everything alright
I believe, you are in a better and peaceful place
Your care, your love- no one can ever replace
It’s true that I cry, I grief and mourn for losing you
when you left, a part of me went with you too
You can never be forgotten, will always be with us
Every one of our memories are very precious
I love you very much and I miss you everyday
In my heart and in my mind that’s where you stay
Whenever I can, I close my eyes to say a little prayer
I can feel, you smiling and watching me from up there
I believe now some bonds can be made from the soul
Painful to accept but many things in life we can’t control
You came into our lives like a shooting star
Very close to our heart, though now you are very far
