You Are My Dearest Cousin Sister

Poem dedicated to my closest cousin sister Shruti, to show how much I love her, platonically of course! Here goes the content:

You are my dearest cousin sister

Exceptionally happy am I, to be your brother

Sweet and brutally honest at the same time

Our conversations always make me beam!!

You are my dearest cousin sister

In recent months, have I been a bit of a bother

Over caring and sending frequent messages

However, what I seek most is your happiness and inner peace

To me, will our relationship forever mean the world

Even long after we both grow old!!

You are my dearest cousin sister

Sometimes scolding me like a teacher

Or lecturing me like an elder sister

Though you are actually younger

Off late, have you been through a lot of trouble

Because, so much do you care for all

Often biting more than you can chew

Maybe that is one of the reasons why I love you!!

You are my dearest cousin sister

And never are you a bore

Our long calls and voice note exchanges ensure that

Seldom, do you not play a part

In ensuring I become a better human being

To me, does your counsel mean everything!!

You are my dearest cousin sister

Your family is my family, forever

For you, am I ready to anything ethical AND legal

You are extremely trustworthy, after all!!

You are my dearest cousin sister

So grateful am I, for all your concern and care

Deeply do I long, to meet you soon

Your mere presence is the greatest boon

Please take care and keep smiling

And may the Almighty take care of everything!!
