Life Lessons

Eagerly awaiting, results come as a jolt from the blue

Shocked upon seeing it as if I have no clue

Friends placate to no avail

Finding solace in mom’s arms, I learnt

Family support matters a lot in your worst days

In an age where one is called a teenager

You tend to swing from one to another blunder

Peer’s advice you adhere

Whereas parent’s caution falls on deaf ears, I learnt

To stand up to my mistakes and rectify

Being the go-getter of the company

Always handling work pressure ably

Expectation rises as appraisal nears

Dejected and shown the mirror, I learnt

To rise after the fall with a renewed vigour and focus on the goal

When life takes a turn for good

From one you are now two

Amid all the vows and kisses that you blew

One thing that heart tells you

To keep the apple of your eye always happy

That single stick gave a shock

Recollecting how parents taught you to walk

Tears slowly glide down the cheeks

As weak limbs struggle and seek

For me to be their walking stick

What are the lessons that we need to learn?

Lessons that you see...

Lessons that you learn...

For I feel, we need to learn

Lessons that never depart, that stays within our heart.
