Parents used to get for their kids things so fancy and new,
I always seeked happiness in the small balloon that I blew.

School days over, started the journey of memorable college,
I stayed away from fun here, just ran in persuit of knowledge.

I stayed behind all in the race to earn penny.

Towards the lifes end, being such simple, I never did regret,
I knew my morals, ethics were of million dollar rate.

Even my soul stood at my funeral silent and with a smile,
Being such innocent, for me the heavens route was just a mile.
