SIGH

SIGH

Every day begins with a thought
wish could make someone's day
maybe wipe a tear away
or show someone lost, the way?
teach someone how to dream
or help someone realise a dream
reduce the burden of load borne
or fill in for someone deserving a rest
we cannot direct the winds they say
so we can atleast adjust the sails
help someone stay afloat
in a sea of misery and not get drowned
Its just a thought that remains
for lost in ones own
wallowing in self pity
there's no time to look around
to feel sympathize or empathize
stuck in ones mundane routine
working to clockwise precision
struggling to make ends meet
coping with stress dying to unwind
the human race at its selfish best
survival of the fittest
rule of the jungles
filtering into society
hoping for peace and
the time and energy
and compassion to dawn
to realize that one thought
wish could make someone's day!
