Kohinoor

                                                                                                            Grace, elegance and charm

                                                                                                            Of affection and love that’s warm

                                                                                                            She shines bright like a diamond.

                                                                                                             Illuminating her generations with virtues

                                                                                                            A special one that none would refuse



 Through cuts, polishes and varied stages

And through all the womanly ages

From carbon to a diamond

Through adversities of nature

She takes her grandmotherly stature



A mother bird that flies to her nest

Picking food out of the best

Over these years until an Octogenerian

She has collected innumerable a treasure

For her generations that are four to measure



Like a daughter, an epitome of hope

A dearly sister, she sympathises with you to cope

She’s a beautiful wife with a heart full of love

Truly a mother with empathy

She’s those two aunts that inspire positivity

An affectionate grandmother with time tested wisdom

She’s the great grandmother with tales of an old kingdom 



 Great grandmother or grandmother , if you ponder

There’s a mother if you may wonder!

And just like the tree she stands tall

Her fruits and flowers, as she bears them all

Through her roots that draw the best

Her trunk stands the time’s test

To give back in all glory

What she received from the Earth’s lorry


 ‘Rajmati’ as we vouch

Draped in elegance

She takes her place on the velvet couch

‘Kohinoor’, a gem of pride

Except she’s truly on our side
