From the clouds of heaven, I can see
A beautiful fairy smiles at me

Her skin is soft so luminously white
An angelic beauty in my sight

Her heart is kind to those who fall
She picks them up and loves them all

A smile is all it takes for her
To forgive me for when I err

For every selfish deed I do
She forgives me and hugs me too

A teardrop falls from her eye
She hides it till her cheeks are dry

Her innocence is too pure and bare
I shall defend her, to God I swear

A cool breeze takes her all along
Her sweet voice wants to sing a song

In the night, as the time goes by
The whole world sleeps to her lullaby

But there are times when she lies awake
And cries out till her heart could break

I console her when harsh winds blow
The streams of love will always flow

May all her merry dreams come true
Dear Eshani, "I love you"



The Story Behind

The angelic beauty, the fairy, the girl, the pronouns like 'she', 'her' are all used to describe my sister. Her name is Eshani as is obvious from the last line of the poem. Whatever, I have described in this poem about my sister is not fiction or a figment of my imagination. That's exactly how my sister is.

She is beautiful and very fair. She is so kind hearted and so sweet natured. She loves all the people who love her and who are close to her from the bottom of her heart. She also offers help to all those who need a helping hand.

She also has a beautiful voice. I thought I had a good voice before I heard her sing. I honestly believe that if she decides to sharpen her singing talents, she can bring in lots of warmth and joy in the lives of people with her songs. I hope she finds the right way to pursue her career very soon.

She is very innocent and sensitive. In fact her vice is that she is too sensitive and can't bear negative criticism. That sometimes leads her to a depression. I try my best to cheer her up. I believe what she needs is love and tender moments coupled with words of courage, hope and the will power to sustain. The day my sister can manage all that, I feel she would be climbing the stairs of success and then there would be no stopping her.

Now, I would like to separately mention why I wrote this poem. Not just because I love my sister. That is but one of the reasons. The other reason is my desire to obtain salvation because I think I behaved very badly with my sister today and I wanted to express my apology not just through sorry but through an added gesture that would mean something to my sister and convince her that I really feel extremely sorry about how I behaved.

I am not the kind of person who behaves selfishly with people at all. I am very empathetic and I do care about other people's sentiments. But the tragedy is that I acted selfishly today and that too against my loving sister. And that too for a insignificant and naive reason. My sister was really hurt by this deed of mine. I admitted my guilt and regretted it much later. I said sorry and she forgived me. But I thought to myself that a sorry was not enough for the gravity of my crime. That's when I decided to write this poem. That's why you can see a preference being given to this incident in a few of the stanzas in the poem.

Dear Eshani, you are closest to my heart and the best sister anyone could possibly have. I love you too much. I again apologize whole heartedly to you. Please forgive me, This poem is dedicated only to you. I hope you like it and indirectly and able to decipher how much I love you. This poem comes straight from the bottom of my heart. I hope the visitors of this site will also like and appreciate this poem.
