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.
