38 long years back
I was on Cloud nine
So happy and excited
Boasting the diamond ring
Day in and day out.
Thinking of the new life waiting for me
New dreams and new aspirations
New family and new friends
Excited to be a part of new fraternity
I wore the ring for 38 long years
And am still wearing the same.
The diamond ring was not only
A cluster of few diamonds, I realized
It held the new responsibilities
And new expectations
Which I have been fulfilling till now
Wearing the same diamond ring
Even today, day in and day out.
This ring has been my partner throughout
Accompanying me to my work place
Reminiscing me of my duties there
To the market, reminding me of my daily 'buys'
To the family get togethers, a reminder to me
To fulfill all my commitments which
I am completing till date along with my ring.
My diamond ring was actually a bundle of obligations packed into a ring
Which I carry and will keep carrying with me till
The end. The diamonds as bright even today as they were back then,
All the liabilities still peeping out of the ring and prompting me about the duties that lay ahead.
My diamond ring I wear on my finger as bright as it was shows me the path to follow in my life and will be my lifelong partner.
