We Can Have All, Not In One Bite

We Can Have All, Not In One Bite

3 mins

Yes we can have it all

but not at once

only little by little

in small measures

the power of youth

the mellowness of elder

or even the wisdom of the old

but not everything at the same time

on the same platter


taking steps one by one

sipping cuppa nice and slow

and by enjoying the doing

we can have it all


life is a roller coaster ride

all days are not happy ones

some glum remain part of journey

to test our resilience

through patience and fortitude

we need to overcome those

for making our today merrier


to belong to happiness 

in spite of odds

Is incumbent on us

a divine responsibility …in short

postponing happiness for tomorrow

is no wise thinking

nor desirable at any cost


a compulsive child who remains elusive

a messy one who does not allow you to clean

or, a child

who is finicky about everything 

that  he/she does or wears

can be nurtured to a wholesome bloom 

with the powers of 

affection and love

nothing…

nothing for that matter

stays forever 

a sleepless night of a mom 

opens to a pleasant dawn

and a fabulous morn


stand like the mighty peak of the mountain

to guide your child

for she/he must be hiding many wounds

those never got scope to ooze out

and bleed in the open


when pindrop silence pervades

elegy of the wind gently strokes

vignettes of twilight mingle with dusk

evaporates into the timeless zone of horizon

you will definitely admire yourself

for having done your bit

by giving selflessly

having lived and savored life’s essence

but not compromising on your terms and conditions


don’t forget to give a pat on your back

for having donned all the feathers on your cap


you wanted to have it all

your platter is now full to the brim

perhaps you, I and we

could not have asked for more.
