My sister Leelamony



Ever since I remember
My sister stood out
In everything she did
A person I silently admired

An embodiment of vitality
Who was blessed with natural
Talents and unequaled intelligence
A person I always looked up to

Best student, leader, orator, writer
An actor, an artist, a teacher and what not
Always caught the attention of many
A person I always wanted to be like

Born as her 4th sibling
we clicked from a young age
Shadowed her always
A person I mimicked a lot

A person with amazing eloquence,
Who filled our life with laughter and joy
Always awed by her spirit and enthusiasm
She will be with me for ever!

Pranamam to my dear Chechi!
