Wanted Not Poem by Asit Kumar Sanyal

The things I wanted from heart
I didn't get in practical life,
The things I achieved to date
Were wanted not … except wife.

Me and my wife … both
Wanted to be teacher
I became technical man
She got nothing … so far.

I tried to make my daughter
A perfect Admin. officer
The luck took her to insurance Co.
For making the bright carrier.

My son wanted to be a doctor
He became an engineer,
He got the degree in Electronics
But got the job in IT sector.

For son, I booked a flat in Delhi
He got the job in Hyderabad
I wanted to stay with him
The god wished to keep me apart.

The things I wanted from heart
I did not get in practical life
The things I achieved to date
Were wanted not … except wife.
