Grocery shopping for me's
To pick items from shelves
Place then in the basket
And rush to the checkout.
Quick and easy it seems
It's more said so than done
Struggle starts with search
Items missing on the shelf.
Finding someone and asking
To find items that're needed
Takes time that has not been
Accounted for in the plan.
Next there's trouble waiting
At the counter standing in line
Every other line moves faster
Machine out of tape at my turn.
What I expected to be fast
Turns out longer several-fold
We plan for things one way
They turnout altogether different.
I love simple, clean and clear poetry. Loved this precious poem.
So very true....! Through a casual experience, you have stated a great truth....! Things often slip out of our expectations in life! Planning helps, but should not feel dejected if plans are occasionally foiled!
Very beautiful way, you have come out with practical point. This had really happened many times, as time tests our patience...loved reading it. Thanks for sharing.
We plan for things one way They turnout altogether different... nice feeling you may move fast but machine at the last so get accustomed when lined

I would like to translate this poem
Reality is different because we rush to assumptions and presumptions. It is a human nature but not a folly. The world around is after all not framed for us, we have to just fit into it ourselves. A poem on a practical point of discussion to be continued sir....
