When they ringed each other with duties plenty.
By the age of seventeen and five more
They weren't singles any more.
From 1960, all the way to 2025
Years of togetherness are sixty five.
Just a year ahead, when tragedy knocked the door,
He was only 5 months old, how their hearts tore.
Two years passed when came Panna the daughter,
Rushi came next, just a couple of years later.
Thus by 1965, the family was complete;
Set to sail the ship of life in Gujarat heat.
With resources few and means limited,
Life wasn't easy with duties unlimited.
Scarcity was like air all around,
But together always, happiness they found.
Let me introduce you to the couple, babu mushai!
The lady is Damyanti and the man is Gunwant Rai.
Even with less, they discovered more,
As prudent spending was at the core.
Accept, adjust, adapt and let go
Love inspite of all that is what they show.
Parents, siblings, children, grand children and more,
They have provided themselves to each and every chore.
Inspite of all these, they made some time,
To fight and play, to sing and rhyme.
Now old and slow but absolutely wise,
Their energy although is a total disguise.
Now they just can't resist fighting each other.
We laugh, knowing, they can't resist each other.
Their marriage is sixty five years Gold.
How marriages should be; youngsters behold.
