Orphan Way of Lifes Perspective

On celebration day visited Orphanage Wishing to plant smile on orphan lips over sponsored dinner Surprised, Orphans greeted with warm smile as if family get together Meet Time catapulting perspective of living with grace Content faces, bitterness dissolved in sweet acceptance of life And in contrast my Lifes clock ticking all the time to accumulate Losing cultural values, gaining ego, hunting equilibrium of fate Meet raising curiosity to rewind Lifes clock for insight into materialistic strife Ashamed at life being worse than Orphans, resolved to live with cheer Since that time smile is uppermost in mind whether on self or others lips Heart with rein on anger and greed, life blissfully leaping forward in steps Meet unfolding, parents though best teachers Orphans this TIME more did offer -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- By Hitendra Mehta Entry for Members Contest - Once upon a "Time" by Barbara Gorelick
