Give me more pain

PAIN…THE GAIN

 

 Riding across the ocean…

In the monsoon rain

…water is all around

As is the pain

…more is the gain

…than the grief of drain

…tears are dry in the watery shade…

& a drop in the inundated lake

…all through summer, autumn & the chilly hail

…I have learned to blossom

…like the lily in the day

It took time to acclimatize

…as a bud amongst the many those stay

But since then I have

…come a long way

Battling the sun & wind

From dawn to dusk

…fighting for the water

From the little that comes our way…

& striving for the pollen

…to develop in May

Growing with responsibility

…of fruit to bear

Here I am with the seeds to share…

…old I am with the days gone by

& wise enough to say this…

While I die

Live like the sun…

…whom everyone prays

…radiant & jubilant

Ever shall you stay

Making the most of today!!!
