Innocent Smiles

Innocent Smiles

In today's competitive world 

Man has no time to smile 

Still when I go into my reminiscence 

I found how it was filled 

With millions of innocent smiles 

Of my dear ones who loved me 

Of my peers who cared for me 

Of my friends who pranked with me 

I had no worries to haunt me

Nor I was trapped 

in greed and prejudices

Nor I was biased for want of 

Fame and stardom 

Neither and egoistic feelings

Webbed me nor I was tortured 

Of sheer ignorance 

I enjoyed sitting on my granny's lap 

Protected and shielded from 

Discouragement and demotivation 


Happy picturesque intrigued me

I cannot see the smile in 

Too fast-growing child of today 

His illuminating and jovial moments 

Are fading away from him 

His innocent smile had wrapped up 

With disrespect and dishonesty 

He might have thought of 

Building a castle for his family 

Or tell us to stop communism 

Corruption and capitalism 

But the sweet smile charm is 

Lost in the crowd of rogues 

Where is the better world to live 

Where is the treasure of emotions 

Where is the warmth of touch and praise 

I am longing for that charismatic smile 

Bonded with love and peace 

Glued by trustworthy friendship 

How can you win the race 

Without your cheerful smile 

How can your efforts be crowned 

With successful precious stones

Of hard work and honesty 

Listen to my child with an open heart 

Give your healthy smile a try 

Remove the tremors and sufferings 

For your smile is the most valuable 

A gift from God to preserve and renew 

To make your present gleaming 

In the same way, as it was in the past.
