A Teary eyed lady. . .


A few lines about isolated old-aged woman. . .



Old and lonely,she moves closer to the window
Touching the cold glass,
and with her teary eyes, she is staring at the shadow,
Of the tree she planted years ago.

Aware of her direct surroundings,
Yet unaware of her past.
Wondering why it is that she’s staring,
and forgetting the answer just as fast.
 

A tear of frustration streaming down her soft pink cheek,
Her legs for years now extremely weak.
Her one desire to touch the wetness
On the other side of the wall
But no one close to share this dream with,
No one has seen her at all.
 

Never even called a grandma,
athough her children years old.
Left alone in a cold room,
with only few days to unfold.
 

Close to the open window,
She puts her body down on a chair.
The fresh air in through her breath
As she gives the rain her final stare.

And i am still smiling. . .

It is about a person who has been losing in life...until he finds something inside him that brings out the positive attitude in him.

Life is a boat..and we keep sailing...
Life is hard..but i am still smiling...

I have been hurt,
I have fallen in dirt.
Things had fallen apart..
when i thought of going back to the start..

I tried & tried..
to win the fight.
But never gave up..
thinking.."Someday,I might..."

Wasted time that never came back..
Cursed myself thinking.."What is it that i lack?"
Never saw what I had in me,
Coz i was working for ..what others wanted me to be..

I wish i could see this before...
Maybe by now, my boat would have found the shore..
But..i will still keep sailing..
And here i am still smiling..

Someday, ill reach the shore..
Then this smile will b wider..and yet..ill work for more..
Life is a boat..n i am sailing..
life will b harder...but ill keep smiling..
