Baby, the ultimate treasure!

Cute little angel sent from God above
Smiling, cooing, swinging tiny arms and legs
Tiny eyes gazing around the new world 
Innocent but deep gaze into my eyes
Makes my joyful heart leap without bounds
What world's treasure can stand before this!


Note: I had written this when my first son Hani was born, sometime in the first two months.

Insensible rain


Rain Rain go away from here
Go someplace else 
Where you are most needed
Where crops await your shower;

Go someplace else
Where cracked and barren lands
Could not even call for you 
With dry throats, go revive those;

Rain Rain go away from here
Go someplace else
Do not flood the lands here
While some are longing for you;

Go someplace else
Where you would be most welcome
Look properly from your high conveyance above 
And shower wisely, Oh insensible rain;

Impetuous Squirrel

The rampant squirrel munching on an acorn
Made an impetuous leap across the road
Luck was sure on his side for the reason
I was driving leisurely taking in nature's scene

I pressed my foot heavily on the brakes 
Waited for a moment trying to ascertain
If the thoughtless creature escaped my wheels
Gleefully relieved was I for it hopped back onto the side

Smile

A smile given to someone
Acknowledges the person
Also brightens your day;

Smile could be given
To everyone you see
But still never lessens;

Smile is such easy wealth
It requires no time
Nor any hardwork;

Smile is great accessory
Wear it everyday
For it will forever stay;

Two roads did diverge

Looking back I see many a times
Two roads did diverge in my path;
Sometimes I chose the one seldom traveled
Sometimes I chose the one frequently traveled;

Looking back I see many a times
Two roads did diverge in my path;
What if I had chosen the one I left behind
Would that have a made a difference?

Looking back I see many a times
Two roads did diverge in my path;
Whichever is chosen leads where you have to be
And that is the mysterious way of life!

Stand Strong and Tall

Take me to the desert
Take me to the mountains
Take me to the deep valleys
Take me wherever you want
But just do not leave my hand
So I can stand strong and tall;
For I will stumble and fall
Anywhere without you, Lord!

Foggy Morning

I wondered if I was flown above the clouds
White mist gently drifting all around
Branches of trees peeping out the misty air
Many a firefly fluttering in front of me
I was withheld to go get them
Only by the angry eyes moving ahead
Headlights of cars deceiving as fireflies
Driving in a foggy morning!
