Combined Forever Beautiful pelicans fill the sky, Gracefully they soar on high; Painting patterns all their own, Reminding me of beauty you’ve shown. I made you mine, my heart’s delight, In a distant land so bright; You gave me such a sweet surprise That day at Hotel grand Shiraz. Your beauty and your gentle grace Spoke through every glance and face; Without a single spoken word, Every feeling still was heard. We exchanged marigold garlands fair, And sweets with love beyond compare; Barfi, rasgulla, rich and sweet— Your jeweled nose made lunch incomplete! Then we sat with folded knees Before the sacred fire in peace; As Pandit Murli Manohar prayed, Vedic hymns their blessings laid. A few soft raindrops gently fell, As if the heavens wished us well; Heaven blessed our path that day, As one in heart, though two in clay. That evening back at the grand Shiraz, Blessed by God and sacred vows; We shared our dreams, our hearts, our soul, And two became forever whole.
