A tiny leaf,
That blew in the wind.
Drifting here and there with belief,
That one day it shall its path find.
This leaf blew away,
Far into another land…
Where it found out new things by the day,
And had ideas grand.
It saw a number of different trees,
Mountains, rivers and roads.
Sailed on the gentlest of breeze,
Crossed the widest of moats.
Realized that tiny as it was,
It was a wonderful little thing.
A place amongst all others it has,
And so much happiness it could bring.
It saw new leaves sprout,
Saw the old ones whittle.
Slowly it realized that it shouldn’t have any doubt,
Shouldn’t take life so seriously or turn brittle.
It learnt to cherish life,
Life as it was each day.
Enjoyed growing through the joys, the strife,
Enjoyed the storms as it did each ray.
Got to know that one shouldn’t mope,
But make best of what is.
For only when there is no hope,
Does life come to a still.
It learnt to listen and not feel hurt,
To see and not to judge.
To differentiate between sand and dirt,
When to or when not to hold a grudge.
Time flew by and fall set in,
The leaf knew it was time go for now.
There is hope…for there will be spring,
And yet another tomorrow!!

As I walked through the town,
There was much happiness and merry.
There in the distance…that clown,
Was making everyone laugh very.

“Beware” he chirped, “many a jack ass around”
“Waiting to pass a comment,
to no logic which is bound”

“Many a fella who shall tell you,
what is wrong with what u feel
and what it is that you must do”

“Listen” said the wise clown,
“Oh yes, us clowns can also be wise”.
“Don’t let these fools take u down,
for their foolishness you don’t have to pay the price”

“Cruel comments and judgments they pass
with little regard to what you think”
“State your opinion and lo alas!
You are the villain before you blink!”

“many a fella who shall tell you,
what is wrong with the way you handle things,
and what it is they think you must do”

They will pass comments on everything,
They must for that is the way they are!
It is up to you to block that sting,
And walk away (from them) afar.

Choose wisely the people, who understand,
Who will choose to walk with you.
These are ones who will lend a helping hand,
And remain friends true.

Pay not attention to that jackass around,
Who will pass any comment,
To no logic which is bound!

“Cheer up and stay happy folks”,
Chirped the wise wise clown.
“Understand, be good you blokes”
“don’t let these idiots get you down!!”
