We Are Arranged

By Athisiya Gopinathan

We are arranged to be married

Just not to mingle two hearts

But to mix up the emotions, feelings, goodness of

Two beautiful families.

I haven’t seen you since birth

You haven’t known me for years

We haven’t crossed paths throughout our life

But now it is just not two people

It is multiple hands that are going to be shaken.

To make every handshake smooth

To make every smile to be real

Let us be with each other like

Warmth of the winter sun;

Sound of a feel-good melody;

Drive on an open road;

Cool shade of a tree on summer;

Sleeping in a chilly morning or a

Coffee on a beautiful morning.

Together let us show the world that

We are arranged to make the world

Of these two beautiful families filled

With wonderful and overwhelming memories.
