To see beyond..
I always thought I am not among the lucky ones,
Born with a silver spoon to boast of one,
To have everything as and when wished,
Until I saw this little boy on the streets,
Carrying his younger and fragile brother,
Not as a burden but as a soft cotton orb,
Linking his arms around him,
Talking soothing words of comfort.
I haven’t realized until lately,
How I take everything for granted,
The loving care of parents,
The continuous chattering of sibling,
It’s so easy to crib about the things I don’t have,
Than being thankful the wonders that I have,
I may have little, but that little is universe of some one.. out there.
The little boy came closer to my parked auto,
Imploring to give me few of my coins,
I wished I could give him the world then,
But I just kept wishing and am wishing the same still,
I quietly passed few coins to him,
Brightening his day and his smile mine.
Thankfully for me the auto moved ahead,
And that was the last I see of him.
He is not only one nor am I the only one,
To be asking and to be giving,
When will I do something is the question I am asking,
Hope I get the answer soon and I do something.
