21 years to this day a little girl’s prayer was answered,
She got a little brother, just as she had prayed for,
An always smiling bundle of joy
around which she hovered
Wide eyed in wonder and happiness
Not quite knowing what to do..
Amma says, she once hugged so hard
That the little thing almost turned blue..
They grew up, brother and sister
Each one’s fortune twined with the other..
She watched out for him
Advised him
Fought him tooth and nail..!
And one fine day she realised,
Its no more her giving him a ride on the cycle,
Its no more him measuring his height relative to hers
And its now him, asking,
Is that guy bothering you?
Should I drop you back, it is late!
Hmmm, should you wear this dress..?
Well, he has grown up
My little brother
And today he turned 21!!
