Sushma A. Singh Poet Verse

Melodies of Life

MELODIES OF LIFE
If we were wise when we were young
Some songs would have been left unsung
Had we anticipated well before hand
 that the road we travelled through was wrong
We'd never stop and glance back
To relive  rare  moments that came along
If we had refused to eat the stale cake
That caused us to suffer stomachache
We'd never recall the secret thrill
we felt, succumbing to our sweet will
Had we not made some grave mistakes
Naively putting our future at stake
And did all that was too perfect and right
Would grow complacent, never scale lofty heights
How would we recount those , foolish tales
Though silly, nevertheless taught us  to sail?
Warbling tunes of gaiety and sorrow
Insouciant about the coming morrow.
