MY COOPER MANSION
Huge n grand it was, under those beautiful heavenly open skies
On the banks of river Tapi, in Mughlisera, Surat it now dilapidated lies ;
Known better it is as "Angrj ni kothi"; the East India factory; were its old ties!!
A compound huge, with a garden; estimate you just can't, its price !!!
How I wish, it was actually mine, loved I every bit of it; specially its location n size.
Always admire I would, those marvellous Sunsets n watch enamored the magical moon rise.
Listen I often did, to beautiful lilting songs of yore; on a stereo of high quality n price
Enjoyed I the breeze cool, blowing over the river, as I ate food, specially my Mom's Biryani rice.
And most of all, I enjoyed the glow on my Mom's face, whenever with my visit, I her surprised!!!
Oh wonderful were those days I spent with my beloveds, no one can ever quote their price
Miss I its beauty n grandeur, lures me that balcony even today; hope like Phoenix it will again arise.
May this dream come true, may that happiness from nowhere again arise.
