THE SEEDS OF JOY!!

The seeds of joy!!

I look outside the window,

I am appalled by what I see,

As nature begins to sow,

The seeds of fear in me, 

I see clouds in the sky,

Dark, ominous and mocking,

I hate them, I want to cry,

Of the imminent woes, they keep reminding,

I hate the gloomy weather,

Soon it even begins to rain,

Some want it to last forever,

Not I, it adds to my existing pain,

I see people relaxed and sauntering by,

Umbrellas over their heads,

Yet I wonder why,

My misery still pervades,

Down the road, I see,

Some kids playing in the rain,

They seem so happy to me,

I wonder, is there a way to let go of this pain, 

I look at an innocent boy,

Even I was just like him,

Why did I kill the seeds of joy,

And my future kept getting dim,

I now realize, I shouldn’t be wilting like weeds,

Life is a gift worth accepting,

It’s all about sowing the seeds,

Of joy, and their perpetual nurturing………..
