Life says, “Be Happy”
As I sit by the patio wondering the obvious,
Life seems so tiring and treacherous.
A sudden light drizzle mellows the heat,
I just close my eyes and stay hooked to my seat.
The rain washes away the gloom,
And like a flower my heart blooms,
A smile tip toes quietly,
"Be Happy" the world says politely!
As I struggle with education,
And TV times to be rationed,
A little head rests on my shoulder,
And two hands hold me closer.
Melting eyes fall asleep
As he snuggles down to sleep,
And my heart skips a beat,
As I smile at this happy treat.
Tears sometimes flow on the pillow,
And the relation seems so hollow,
His warm hug holds me back,
Not letting my heart crack.
Through tears I look into his eyes,
Assuring me another day, we will survive,
And after that moment of pain,
Love makes me Happy again.
Now I know there is success,
And some material moments too.
But that is momentary Joy and elation,
True happiness is not its association.
As a writer I realise when I look around,
God has given me the magic to appreciate nature's sounds,
And to pen them in my words through feelings profound.
Here again the face curves,
As I read through some verse,
My heart feels chirpy like a spring bird,
Life asks us to be happy, we just haven't heard!
