Thank you

My name is Venkatesh and I am the Elder of  Four children. My parents taught us growing up that God and family are there for you when no one else is. As a result of our upbringing, we are a very close knit family. My family has stood by my side through the good times and the bad, as I have been there for them. Without their support I am not sure I would be where I am today. My family is comprised of not only my parents, and sisters, but also my true and loyal Wife.

Family

F- Fiercely loyal to those we love.
A- Accepting each for whom
         and what They are.
M- matchless in our hopes and dreams 
         For one another.
I- Instilling pride in our hard fought
           Heritage.
L- Learning about our past guides
          us in The future.
Y- You love and cherish the people of
           Your heart.
Saying thank you can be a difficult thing to do. Doing so means admitting that you are in another's debt. I am admitting that another individual did something for me. I am not all powerful; I need the help of others to survive. The reality is that the human race is interdependent. We cannot live life alone. We are constantly relying on each other for all kinds of resources, both physical and emotional. When I say thank you I am acknowledging that I have received something from another human being.

The role of a wife has changed significantly during the last hundred years. Woman now have more freedom than ever before to choose their role in life and marriage. Many woman may decide to invest heavily in a career and push off childbearing until a later age. Other woman decide that they want to be a wife in the traditional sense. Husbands and wives can make all kinds of arrangements that are perfectly workable between each other. It is important that both parties are aware of the expectations that the other are bringing into the marriage so that there isn't friction later on.

 

I dedicate this poem to my wife

That Someone Special

She is the apple of my eye,
The reason that I live.
She is all that I could wish for.
My heart to her I give.

It is for that someone special,
These words that I do pen,
To thank her for always being,
My wife and my best friend.

She has the will to live until,
The last breath she does take,
There is the love within her heart,
Such good memories to make.

She is the sunshine in my morning,
The star that's in my sky,
And if I should ever lose her,
Then I would surely die.

She stands always at my side,
No matter what comes our way.
She comforts me with steadfast love,
Each and every day.She carries many burdens,
And her heart is sometimes broken,
By all the thanks she never gets,
And all the words unspoken.

I know her life is not her own,
I always seem so needy,
And asking her to do one more thing,
I feel so really greedy.

How can I ever thank her,
For all she has done for me?
I can only give her all my heart,
And love her to eternity.

She is One I should treasure,

But not as a possession,
Who needs to be loved,

Not treated with aggression.

Her value is more than

All the world's treasures,
Not just the sum of

Scale’s unit measures.

 

She should always be built up,

Not torn down,

By all the words I speak,
When she is around.

She needs to be hugged
And not pushed away,
Especially when We both
Having a really bad day.

Words spoken to her
In haste and anger
Can place her fragile
Heart in danger

She should be admired
For her boundless love
And looked upon as
A true gift from Above.

Not used as a target
For all My frustration
But held close and kissed
With loving admiration.

I should always appreciate
her commitment to me
And not take for granted what
she's given up for me!

Kiss her and love her
all that I possibly can
And don't be embarrassed
To be seen holding her hand.

Treasure each day
as If it were the last,

I hope that when the end comes,
And she meets God face to face,
He will tell her that in Heaven,
She has a special place.
