YOURS ALONE

1 Comment

It’s in you
A seed you have to grow
It’s called talents
Gift you are supposed to invest

Wonder why a child arranges broken glasses
And it forms a small sparkling galaxy
Why would a 6 year old pretend to be sick?
Only to ask, “What is tetracycline”?
Why else would a boy use his shoe lases
To replace his broken guitar string

Our talent makes us weird indeed
Because of it, we do stupid things
But that’s what makes us unique
So don’t tell me you don’t have a talent
As long as you are not dead yet
Please cultivate it and let it grow
It’s in you and you know it!

PARENTHOOD

Leave a comment

It’s no child’s play
It starts with a day
And gradually spans through the years
The children are always there
And you must always care

When it gets boring
Just sit and stare
There are always like-eyes meeting your glare
When it gets interesting
Enjoy it while it lasts
You sure need all those strained muscles relaxed

There is the dependence,
Which could be definitely irritating
The love that becomes overbearing
The tension that gets you sobbing
And the cheer that gets your eyes teary

Through the love and the pain
It’s a responsibility that you carry the burden
Be a proud parent
And live the life others respect.

A QUICK WARNING!

Don’t fall into it
Please not in that pit
Don’t fall in that pit
Because what you see
Is only a counterfeit
But look not the way you dim fit
Walk not with the guide of your feet
But walk according to the spirit
And think not on your past defeat
And though you consciously blew it
Go to the one who forgives your sins every bit

SLEEP TROUBLE

5 Comments

Sitting between two funny looking guys

I tried to read the book before my eyes

With all sincerity,

I never meant to do it.

But here comes a time,

When i get to pay complete

For the debt of taking a night watch instead of sleep

… well of course I could help it!!!

I could have avoided a debt I could not repay

But I would really not want to think on it

…and now I feel really dizzy

Yes, I seriously do

But here’s an advice for you.

Try to avoid this with all of you

Cos I can bet you wouldn’t want to be

In the house of God and write this
