Thirty four Winters -Chills and Thrills
In the year nineteen hundred eighty-eight
On the winter day of January twenty eight
We tied the knot
The knot is getting more and more tight
Bondage is getting stronger and robust
Partnership is the bliss we sought
Togetherness and tenderness is a big might.
Sandwiched between two generations
The elders adorned the First Generation
And Offspring occupied Third Generation.
The new entrant filled up Fourth Generation
Life is vibrant with newer novel narration.
More than Three decades passed
While in service and now stand retired
Working parents tag detached
Professional career just dimmed
New inning getting dawned
Senior Citizen Tag got attached
New inning about to be bloomed.
Passions left behind will be bloomed.
Year 2022 will be the thirty fourth event
Took off with dingy and gloomy note
With alarming spread of omicron mutant
Celebration amidst gathering, we’re hesitant
Notwithstanding the prevalent constraint
We are cheerful, jovial and ebullient
Hoping the end of a tunnel is very near
Looking for bright light and sunshine
In the coming next year.
