Painted with natural brush, <br />Butterflies around plants and bush <br />I run after them to catch live, <br />Kids insisting for catch not one but five, <br /> <br />Stayed almost with colourful life, <br />Spacious bungalow with beautiful wife, <br />Lavish parties with friends around, <br />Joy and happiness always found, <br /> <br />Time was passing with precise clock, <br />Morning started with splendid voice of cock, <br />Cool breeze, little dews with bright shine, <br />Life seemed to be easy and passing fine, <br /> <br />Suddenly it sensed I am running out of time, <br />Something to be done for unfinished goal prime, <br />planned absolutely nothing for future days, <br />Though friends suggested and showed the ways, <br /> <br />What did worry me the most? <br />Were the precious life days stand lost? <br />Does that it mean to suffer very high cost? <br />Waited for message to come by post? <br /> <br />I thought of going for final count down, <br />Destiny was certain and almost known, <br />The slight thought sent me a chilled wave, <br />Holding of defeatist views but putting up of front brave, <br /> <br />Days did not pass as I wanted, <br />Went to holy places and hymns chanted? <br />Prayed for easy and smooth passage for life journey, <br />Three fourth of it went for marry making and collecting honey <br /> <br />Success and failure had no other key, <br />I ran after money like mad monkey, <br />It was just craze and blind rush, <br />All luxury at disposal still more the push, <br /> <br />No use to go down or look at the back, <br />Time wasd nearing end and waiting for final pack, <br />Realized it so late that nothing will accompany, <br />Wife, son, daughter or no more holding of company<br /><br />hasmukh amathalal<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/butterflies-around/
