Fond Memories

As I walked through the deserted lane

I stepped unto an earthen pot which

I dared to open…

Inside I found a little joy in my name

I carried it home with eagerness

And on the way I found a bagful of laughter

I knew it was for me and carried it too.

As I trod on the golden path

A little ahead I was served a bowl of love

This I accepted with much happiness.

Back home as I unpacked my basket

The air was filled with the

Fragrance of joy, laughter and love

The feel of someone’s presence.

I realized I gathered a beautiful

World around myself

This will carry me to the golden future…
