He took His diary,
Opened a page,
Scribbled my fate,
Signed God affixing date,

 Labour pains ease two lives,
The bearer and the born,
Eyelids open slumberously
Begins life's sojourn,

 Crawling toddling,
Walking falling
Metamorphosing seasons,
Merge years blissfully,

 Tears soaked laughter
Heart rending sobs,
Swing like keep moving,
Life's silently rowing raft

 Floating petal like
Heart perched on
Unknown land
Abodes strange

 Memories mesmerize
Hopes stagnate
wishes desires ignite
My life's pyre

 Time moves on
Page of the notepad
My fate scribbled on
Remains unscathed unchanged
