RAKSHA BANDHAN

A pious bond of love that unifies 

You and me.

A scared thread 

Of silken bright 

Interwoven to 

Adorn your wrist.

The brilliant vermillion,

And the rice grains

Beautify your forehead

Magnify your charm.

Our spirit to clasp and entwine 

In all weathers.

Enriching the profound bond 

of love to shine.

 The Shield of protection you are

In every walk of life.

Pledge of endurance,

Delivers a promise 

With full heart

Never to part.

The festival of Raksha bandhan 

Reminds of the unstrained

 and unbroken devotion,

Of a sister, for her brother 

And a brother for his sister!
