Brother's Heart

When Mother is not around, my sister would have a role new found.

She managed the house and better still

She managed the two brothers and an old grandma 

With aplomb and praise. We gave our best by listening to her

More than we listened to ma.

She took care of us and was more stricter than ma.

She served lunch, to all

Though we came together from school.

She ensured we gleaned our plates

She was more stricter than maa.

She arranged the house and did her homework.

When she sat next to us she was more stricter than maa.

Preparing for evening and setting the house order

After she was convinced nothing remained

As she was more stricter than maa.

She went to with us to play,

Checking on our language and company that we played

As she was more stricter than maa.

All teenage years of her life she spent

Without a dent

Into the immaculate routine 

Caring, preparing, showering and garnering

Love, affection, care and compassion.

She seldom ate her share of sweets,

Kept them as incentive for us to entreat.

She is our supersister and wonder woman.

I love you Appa, Didi and pseudo aai,

Will protect you and be there for you

My entire life.
