A Gift Of Poetry! Poem by Ramesh T A

Before getting a job, there is a lot of time in the world;
But joining a job, job takes a lion's share of life ever;
Jobs we do for supporting the lives of all who depend us;
After sometime, it is felt we have no time for ourselves!

Before working life starts, all time is utilized for our
Preparation for accruing knowledge, training to do job and
Personality development for making employability feasible;
That takes a quarter of our life in this world we live in!

After joining duty, improving in profession we take a lot of
Care and achieve our goals only to work as machine daily and
Do all necessary things for elders, brothers, sisters, wife
And children without some time to breathe free air in life!

We work for all, but, where is the time to fulfil our own
Personal dream, desire and interest to get the satisfaction
We long for longtime in the course of our whole life in this
World of competition sans respite until retirement comes...?

After getting old, how can we enjoy life we have been dreaming
In our youth life and get the peace of mind we have lost ever?
Only meditation in Nature and the heart feelings stored long
can one express in poems, if and only if one has gift of poetry!
