Getting strength from within
They all think its happy life
Just husband and wife
Living in a foreign land
Distant to mom and dad
Our worries are lesser
And days are merrier
It is just their perception
The reality is very different!
We are just two people living for, and by each other!
It isn’t easy to be just by ourselves in every weather
Less are the friends and lesser family
Still our days are very busy
Eighteen hours of office and sleep
Only six hours to personally reap
And if there is any further energy left
We fulfil our personal quest
You don’t often hear anything new from us
Cos ours are very fixed routines
The city clocks tick faster than yours
And we are submerged in never ending chores
We don’t share much
Cos you are sooo far to touch
We have grown stronger over the years
Sharing things would only make it worse
Why add to your worry
With our problems of sardi and garmi
The feelings just subside
In the chime of phone dial
Don’t let the happy talks deceive you
We are as human as you
Yes, we do enjoy this freedom
However, there is enough boredom
The festivals last short
Meals not spread vast
No one to pamper after a long day
Wish for longer you would stay
Every time we say ‘Goodbye’
The heart questions Why?
To everyone who thinks we are thick skinned
Its only cos we gather our strength from within!
