Sita Weds Rama.

That which witnesses every cause

And That which performs without a pause

Were born on this earth to be Husband and Wife

Wishing to lead a human life

Both were born with a silver spoon

Both grew up like the sun and moon

Of course, they were in different places

One not knowing the other's traces

Time had come for them to unite again

And to be partners in life's pleasure and pain

Sage Vishwamitra entered the scene

And demanded The Sun to wipe darkness, clean!

The little Sun walked with His bow and arrow

And wiped off all the ascetics' sorrow

Amazed by the Prince's fight

The sage thanked Him for ending the plight

"You have indeed performed a mighty feat!

I would like to gift you a lifetime treat"

Saying this, the sage started to walk

The prince followed him without a talk!

On the way, was a good old rock

Which, among the fauna, was a laughing stock!

Some dust from the princes feet, on it did fall

And lo! There arose a woman beauteous and tall!

"You have released me off my husband's curse

For an act, I had did, ugly and worse"

Saying this thankfully, the woman vanished!

The little prince watched her, astonished.

They walked further and entered a city

Whose people never knew what was pity!

They walked through all its streets and lanes

Admiring eyes peeped through the window panes.

They then entered a palace gate

Which was nothing but, the plan of fate!

Warmly welcomed by the royal host

On that eve, they were the toast.

They were then taken, to see a bow

Which was on dais, kept for show!

It had humbled numerous kings and princes

Who attempted to lift it, to marry the princess!

Our little Prince took it like a piece of cake!

And broke the bow, as though it were fake!

All the witnesses sang hymns of praise

Swept off their feet by the prince's grace!

The Princess arrived there, a divine beauty!

Thinking, 'To serve this prince is my eternal duty'

Her eyes with shyness fixed on His feet

She garlanded Him, with a smile so sweet!

The Gods showered blessings from their divine abode,

Who always served this couple's accord!

Thus were married Sita and Rama

The Divine Duo who play the eternal drama!
