SHADES OF GREY
So forlorn and sombre..,
Creasing the skin wrinkled..
the pale face longing for deep slumber..,
and the weak eyes twinkled..
So deep the melancholy..,
Covering the head with grey hair..
And tottering off like
Treading the thin ice in despair..
So brimmed with opinions & desires..,
Spent the life with experiences in no dearth..
An asset to heirs..,
Bosoms embracing with warmth..
“Ageing is inevitable”- an old adage,
To cope with it – A challenge
Little do I know the desires of their,
For those with dyed-in-the-wool opinion..
I emphasize to treat them with great care..
and a profound respect of enrooted tradition..

LIFE AND ITS MEANING
If there is a life, there is a time
for mending,
It is when we see our troubles,
coming to an ending.
Life is never hopeless;
however big is our sorrow,
Especially when we are
looking for better tomorrow.
When we wish, there is hope,
We held it tightly with a rope.
Sometimes very bad is what you feel.
With passage of time, it will heal.
There is new day waiting
for us with new belief,
This is what will give you
a sense of relief.
For a better tomorrow,
we should stop leaning,
Especially when we know
this life has huge meaning.

AN ODE TO MY MOTHER
Lucky are those who have a mother
But truly blessed are those
Who can find a friend in her.
She is the one who always forgives you
Without a sorry,
No matter how rudely you behave
How much you fight,
Or throw a tantrum
Causing her a sleepless night.
She knows when
and what you’re hiding.
She is the one who smirks
And says, ” I’ve passed through your stage.”
She is the one whose cooking and
cooing you miss,
When you’re away from home.
She is the one who cheers you up,
When you are feeling lost and lone.
Always respect your mom who stays home,
Whose hands are always covered in flour
Who places your food in front of your nose.
Never put her down
Or say she is ignorant or too tame
Because she is the reason
Behind you,
being wherever you are today.
She is the one whose feelings for you
Never gonna change
And the selfless love in her heart
Is always gonna stay.
So always manage a bit of spare time
to tell her I Love you Baebay.

BUTTER FLY
Little butterfly
That flies
Low and high,
So beautiful and shy
Charming little butterfly,
Sucking nectar from flowers
So colourful her wings
God painted them,
With his own hands
Her life,
So short
Yet blessed,
Oh! Dear butterfly
Bless all,
Happy and cheerful life
