Be Happy to be happy!

While a boy, I cried for toy.
I thought it would give me joy.

I fried myself and tried for distinction in study.
I thought, it was my sole goal for whole joy.

I boiled myself burning the midnight oil to be the Man of soil with govt.job
I thought, the professional Sun would shine for my joy even after retirement.

I lost myself, found only the half and searched for the other half.
I thought, my dear better half would turn my bitter half a better half.

I was first mild, then wild for a child.
I thought, the little angel would drop me in the seventh heaven.

My desires boomed and zoomed for a home.
I thought, it would build and shower stable pleasures into my soul.

I fought a financial war and won a high class car.
I thought, I would travel beyond the miseries of  middle class.

On a snowy evening,
I cooled myself and felt,
Time fooled me.

My child laughed for no reasons.
I laughed at myself for more reasons.
Someone whispered in me -
"Be Happy to be happy."
