How Your Life

I am a mother of four children 
One out of four gives me lots of pain 
At ease when I am at home 
She comes at my door and asks 
How is your work?

In the morning before I get up
She brings a dream 
And disturbs my sound sleep 

When I should remain awake 
And do my job sincerely 
She crawls into my work and ask 
How is your home? 

With my soul I sit and relax 
But before I enjoy my moment 
Miles away she calls me up and asks 
How is your life? 

Unable to solve this problem 
 With lots of worries I go to a sage 
He aptly listens and then says 
Out of her this is a sign of foolishness 

Due to sheer ignorance 
 Instead of enjoying the present 
She thrusts upon you all the jittery and restlessness 
By living in future or thinking of the past.


‘’She ‘’ is my mind
