Joy is a gift we give ourselves.
Like a bud, unfurling its petals,
A happy river, on its meandering path,
Rippling over pebbles,
A tiny bird, flapping its wings,
My dupatta, flutters in the wind
Oh! It does fly, unstoppable
Like my heart
Soaked in joy!
I quite enjoyed painting this.
It was a gift for a very dear aunt on her sixtieth birthday.
