The Scarlet Wish

The story started with you and I
When we walked across the meadows together.
I used to be painfully shy.
Being charmed by the lovely weather,
You asked me, " Among all others you had bravely chosen me. But why? "
I smiled and replied, " You are the one who should know the answer, O my lover!
The witnesses of your deep affection are the trees, the sky,
The deer and the river.
Can they ever tell a lie? "
I could clearly listen to your whisper
" Without you, I will die."
Nine long years have passed and thus cheerfully continues the chapter.
And today on this special occasion, please accept this small gift from my side, your favourite Shepherd's pie.
Wish you a very Happy Birthday, My Dear.
