My Open Diary

Today, my diary is open to the world
Everyone now knows who you were—
How you were, and what you were
All these days, my diary has been filled
With memories of pure love and profound pain.

After your passing, many have asked me,
"How do I draw my strength to live without you?"
You gave your protection to the country,
And you gave me your unbreakable strength.

Now, I carry on—fulfilling my duties,
With love, with affection, and unwavering devotion
I never regret,But I deeply miss you.

I knew you more than anyone else.
Tough on the outside, tender within—like a coconut,
But with a heart of warmth
I still smile, remembering your laugh,
The way you joked about everything.

Even today, I live on through tears.
The world may not see the weight I bear
But I move ahead, taking you as my silent guide—
In every choice, in every step I take.

I will live on in memories,
And fill my life’s diary
I will honor you,For all my years.

Regards
Ratna

Hello @Thyagarajan Sir
I would like to respond to your kind feedback with a few lines in my own poetic style:

When a wordsmith showers words of compliment,
It is an unwavering encouragement to an emerging poet.

Such words fuel and strengthen poetic insight,
Inspiring the expression of philosophical depth to the world.

May you continue to shower blessings upon me,
Until the day comes when I transform from a raw diamond to a polished piece.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful suggestion! I feel truly blessed to receive such kind compliments from you, and I will certainly take your advice to heart, and I will move forward.

Regards
Ratna
