To August goes my vote!
As a month filled with hope.
The rains in India peak.
Villages take a hue of lush green
And hearts are filled with joy.
To august goes my vote!
For the pride in an Indian heart it bestows.
The month of our Independence,
A pledge for the betterment
We take every August.
To august goes my vote!
For the bond between siblings it evokes.
Festival of βRakhiβ- a beautiful sibling affair.
A festival that also preaches for unity
In a country like ours, with so much diversity.
To August goes my vote.
For a special personal milestone.
A bundle of joy, cuddly and full of life,
Was gifted to me by my wife,
One August morn, twenty-six years ago!

Thank you for your comments!
It’s an extra special day because my daughter and I share the same date of birth! Hence the use of the term “gift” assumes a special meaning!
