May Day

On a clear and bright Sunday

At the end of May

When the sky is so true

Like a beautiful painting in blue

The white fluffy clouds you rarely see

Forming shapes ethereal

The sun shines bright

Basking in its own limelight

Making the air more clear

The pollution seems to disappear

You can see your city more further than before

Its not yours improved eyesight 

but thanks to the bright sunlight

The mind still remains clouded

With some worries its always surrounded

No matter how hard you try

Theres always something more to firefight

To do lists never grow smaller

Making money or saving it 

Unending process u cant resist

To make the next day or week or month better

Little things that bring happiness get left behind

Enjoyed more in childhood than latter in life 

We run after things we want to buy

Foolish we are and blind

Thinking it will make us happy

Only to realise 

The rigmarole never ends just grows bigger

In time 

Wish this bright and sunny day of May

Clears our clouded minds

Make us think What we really want in life

Enjoy little pleasures that bring a smile

Spread a little of our own sunshine ...
