Wishes.......

(c) Shilpa Sandesh

Like the smiles,
Like the sorrows,
Like the life's journey of miles,
Where no one can fathom tomorrows;

Wishes are the catalysts of joys;

Not just I, but all have lived,
Their share of miserable moments,
But some refuse to crib,
And rather infuse the dreams' atonement;

Wishes become the impetus of jubilance;

Years have bygone,
Years would come,
Some would be forlorn,
Some delightful, like the beaming Sun;

I wish for plentiousness in success,
I wish for bountiful joys,
Where happiness knows every soul's address,
And bliss, in every heart shall poise;

And as for me:

I wish to see him,
Every night in my dreams,
To be his reasons to rejoice, when happiness goes dim,
And to enlighten his life with my endless love's sheen.........
