To the Thread That Holds Us Together


A brother, a beacon, steadfast and true,

Who filled every corner with joy anew.

With hands that toiled and a heart so wide,

You cared for our parents with endless pride.


Money and love, you gave in such measure to mummy and daddy

A treasure of blessings, purest of treasure direct from them 

Happiness flowed in the home you wove,

A tapestry rich in warmth and love.


Today we honor the thread you’ve spun,

Binding our family, each and every one.

On your birthday, may blessings abound,

For in you, the heart of our family is found.

Happy Birthday my Mummy(In Heaven)

Happy Birthday, dear Mummy, my heart’s guiding light, In my thoughts, you live on, still holding me tight. From the first day I entered your world, unsure, You welcomed me gently, though my path felt obscure. We faced our share of rough days and storms, Yet your warmth transformed, softened and warm. In time, you saw my fears, my tireless strife, And mother-in-law faded— you became my life. I remember the strength in your steadfast hand, Lifting me up when I struggled to stand. You walked with me, calmed each unsure breath, Your love a compass, a lifeline from death. In moments of doubt, I’d look to your face, Finding in you an endless grace. You were my shelter, my mother’s embrace, A place where my heart could finally feel safe. You’ve left a space I’ll never refill, The mornings feel empty, the nights so still. Your laughter, your wisdom, the stories we’d share, Now echo in silence; I search, but you’re not there. Yet I feel you, mummy, in each step I take,...

A Dream

In the quiet of night, I close my eyes, Where shadows and memories softly rise, A dream begins, tender and true, And there she stands, like morning dew. Her voice, a whisper, sweet and clear, Like a melody only the heart can hear, Her hands reach out, warm and near, Banishing every lingering fear. Her smile, a beacon, glowing bright, Guiding me through the endless night, I run to her, arms open wide, In this dream, there’s no need to hide. We talk of days long since passed, Of laughter and love meant to last, And in this moment, time stands still, As though the world bends to our will. But as dawn’s light begins to creep, I feel the dream begin to seep, Away like mist, fragile and thin, The world outside beckons me in. Yet in my heart, she’ll always stay, Though dreams may fade with the day, Her love, like roots, runs deep and strong, In waking life, it still belongs. Daya Nair🫶

A Soul Unheard

She stood with a heart, open and bare, But his words were daggers, slicing the air. Not in shouts, nor in fights loud and wild, But in silence that crushed, cold and defiled. Like a pot turned upside down, sealed tight, No matter her plea, no matter her fight. Her innocence lay, unheard, unseen, Drowned in shadows where truth had been. Her watering eyes became his delight, A silent victory in the dead of night. He wove his stories, twisted and spun, And they believed the damage was done. What is pain, if not this slow decay? A body that breathes, but fades away. For death is kinder, swift and bright, But to live unloved is endless night. DayaNair
