A Lesson Poem by Zehra Bukhari

Series: My Fabulous Journey and teachings
Human wants money, Human wants gold
But I'll tell you what I was told:


For a change, I went on a walk yesterday
The surroundings seemed different I should say
After walking till block-7 street
I looked left and turned my feet...
Onto the road there stood I
Watching the beauty of the world below sky
My eyes shifted to a lady on the side
Sobbing with her child as he cried
I slid my hands in my pocket
Some coins I had saved for my model rocket
I gave a smile and handed her with pleasure
Inside I felt happiness is the greatest treasure...

So you see people do desire something more than gold
Because happiness stays with you till old.
