In Retrospect

In Retrospect by Bubbles Kandhari

If expectations are what we have

Disappointments we sure will get

When aspirations are what we go for

Desperation becomes the fate.

Contentment is what we need

But resentment comes to the fore

Serenity is what we should wish for

And wish as never before.

Our leisure is all missing

Our hobbies are forgotten and gone

We are running a mad race

Wither to? Knows no one.

Take a break – rest a while

We have actually forgotten to smile

There is more in the world than run to the top

Enjoy the nature – just try and stop.

Look at the trees, feel the breeze

Sing with the birds - admire the seas

The skies are blue, the grass is green

Why don’t we understand what they all mean?

Simple luxuries created by God

We have not given them enough thought

Worldy pleasures is what we strive

Is this really our goal in life?

We want this, we need that

We cry for this, we shout for that

We expect this, we get that

Always short of this and that.

Transitory things are you and me

Then why all the fight, where’s all the need

There is more to life, just try and ponder

Look beyond and there is heaven yonder.
