A Long-Cherished Wish

Start with a dream, Then, give it life; Finish the theme -- Hope colours strife! Yes, hope is good When fate plays tricks; Calmly fix mood, Eat with chopsticks! Yes, that and this Distractions surge; What kind of bliss Follows vain urge? Yes, this story Of ancient cares Waits just for me To pay my fare. End with a tale So far away From stormy gales Of the old days. End when you end With fate on-hold; Just mind your trends As plot unfolds! End with a plot: Unfinished yet; Fate scatters lot With futile bets. So, now we see This cherished wish Fulfilled nicely In broken dish! Death brings release From certainty Of doubtful bliss; Now, fate sets free! Our blood ties show A quilt patchwork, A certain glow... A lasting work.
