On what is most dear

Diary entry by my father made on 6.6.2002

Nothing is to a man so dear

A woman's love in good measure

A good woman is man's blessing

Their love right and steadfast

There is no solace under heaven

Of all that man may name

That should a man do so much gladness

as a good woman that loveth true

No dearer is none in God's hand

Than a chaste woman with lovely word

26

You're the most you're the greatest

Love me when the night is latest

You love me I love you 

Love in the morning dew

During the day during the night

In my book you're all right

27

More than I hoped to do, I do

And more than I deserve I got

What little I attend, I know

And it argues order more than not

The only correction is

By you, of you; by me, of me

This blog is dedicated to the memory of my dear father Jaswant Singh Matharu.

In his twilight years he maintained diaries which are a glimpse into his sensitive soul.

I share the pages of one of his diaries here.
