When I am with my Husband

by Aarti Sriram
(India)

The days and nights are festive
Even the chaos is meditative
We cook shop gym and talk
Routine is fun round the clock.

We are accommodative of each other
in the seasons of winter and summer
we don't ask much from one another
but openly complain if we miss the humour

We are seen as jovial life companions
elders and youngsters notice our unions
we love to laugh discuss and plan
our results make us our mutual fans

Our extensions are our kids
who see role models amids
when we fight, they feel we need therapy
but soon banter we return to normalcy.

Life has been kind and blessed
Our folks have always supported
We took risks and challenges
Together made big families balance.

We learnt that our nation is great
Traditional Patriotism Compassionate
Are qualities we like to integrate
Reaching the summit and more to navigate.
