Hidden behind bamboo screen she stands still
Clad in saree, on her forehead bindi
Her would be groom outside will get to meet
Will she his tough expectations fulfill?
Her dark brown skin, will he take to kindly?
Will he reject, and beat a hasty retreat?
Heart catapulted with joy, when called in
Walked in with laden tea tray timidly
Eyes downcast noticed crutches near his feet
Her heart sank; was she being palmed off
to an invalid merely because of her akin?
