BETTER HALF
A Poem by Bharat P. Bedi
God is my eternal better half,
taking care to anoint
an appropriate better half,
in every phase of my life,
to help me bolster,
boost and add value,
real worth to my life,
since birth, parents are
perennial better half,
primarily, till we are capable
to face life on our own,
teaching & guidance
of my teachers, taught me
how to grow n progress,
peers mentors colleagues
friends relatives guided me
to the right path, helping
me to grow in life, they
have been my better half
from time to time,
in my formative stage;
Since last forty years,
from this date onwards,
my spouse my wife,
my better half, has
added value to my life,
has been a rock-solid,
pillar of strength,
boldly facing tough times,
thru my major health issues,
to financial uncertainties,
we were able to over-ride,
on the back of her ability,
to stabilize the roller
coaster ride of our life,
has steadied rocking boat,
anchored in stability,
from lashing waves of
troubling tough times;
We complement each other,
I am naïve idealistic,
she is practical realistic,
I am basically a laid back,
take it easy type of a person,
taking life as it is, whereas
she is pugnacious persistent
persuasive go getter,
she is the magnet,
keeping family together,
my most ardent critic,
helping me not to waver
from the right path,
she is the true better half,
she is the life of my life,
she is the asset side of
the balance sheet of our life;
Except God,
all my better half were and
are normal human beings,
with all the regular faults,
facing trials & tribulations,
shouldering their drawbacks,
imparting to me their best,
I am indebted to everyone,
I have gained more from them,
than what I could do for them.
