A rocket,
small but powerful,
the first step on the moon for
mankind.
The ship descended to the moon,
landing with a final “ker-plunk”.
It was then that the door opened,
a foot,
the foot of an astronaut
stepped out,
and the first step on the moon
was made.
History,
in those fragile, precious seconds,
had been created.
It was the best day at school that day,
All I could do was just play.
We were divided into two groups,
Like there were many troops.
We laughed, we sang, and we danced,
and many people just glanced.
After we were so tired,
We were like famous people just retired,
We went to the amazing canteen,
After we were very clean.
We ate lots of food,
While we were in a good mood.
We enjoyed ourselves,
With ears big as elves.
As we tied our shoe laces
We said goodbye with happy faces,
.
One day can change the path of one’s life,
Whether towards pleasure, or maybe to strife.
12 years ago my family relocated to an unknown country,
Where people were mysterious and unlike me physically.
An alien I must have been,
Amidst crowds that weren’t the same, even through skin.
And even now I imagine often
“What if we stayed?” It’s quite common.
Yet when I think about what WOULDN’T have happened if we had stayed,
My questions quickly fade.
My current friends would be gone
(though I know that I’d have other friends)
My life would just need too many amends.
If someone were to ask whether I’d change the course of that one special day,
Now, I’d reply with, “No way!”
Oh Preacher,
If you cannot provide me with such knowledge,
Then I assume one cannot win my love.
Where one fails, one also succeeds.
And, Oh Beggar,
If my donations must not be enough,
How time must foolishly betray me.
As one retains, one’s affection is also abolished.
Oh Sinner,
You are just one solitary,
And if one must inhabit such inequalities,
Maybe one feels introverted from the world?
When one cherishes, one also regrets.
And, Oh Sibling,
A rival certainly not be me, or so otherwise.
I am sorry for how the folly of responsibility has yet again attacked me;
Care to receive your award?
Today is the day,
everybody is calm!
The sky will play,
hip hip hooray.
Everyday is not a special day,
only today
For me was an auspicious date
With pomp and show my parents had to celebrate
With God’s grace one takes birth
My birthday it was, the day I came on Earth…
True happiness I wanted to find
I had an idea in mind
Bowing before the almighty, I wrote on a page
This birthday let us visit an orphanage
There are children with no families
We must help them I request please
Reaching the place with lots of ice cream, sweets and toys
We find many innocent girls and boys
With a big smile they welcomed
How pleasant they are, I hummed
Afternoon it was with a bright shiny sun
Distributing things among children was great fun
They conveyed their thanks and warm wishes
Next birthday I would treat them with nice dishes
You will gain happiness, there will be no loss
Be sympathetic and work for noble cause
Till date me and my parents say for us
It was indeed a very special day
Thank you
Princess Pea with the sore knee
drank lots and lots of medicinal tea.
His nerves were shot, quite a lot.
You see, he’s lost the plot.
He thinks his brain caused the pain.
But he ain’t got brain strain.
Princess Pea with the sore knee,
came to me with his plea.
I’m doing my time for a stupid crime.
I over did it, you see,
with leg lunges and crunches,
squats and whatnots.
Princess Pea with the sore knee,
you must agree with me.
You’re an exercise parolee,
so don’t stretch it too far,
or you won’t become a exercise superstar.
Princess Pea is code for Princess Plowman (my dad!)
A special day isn’t always a day that’s filled with surprising events
It’s a day when you can be with loved ones
Showering each other with presents
That don’t have to have a monetary value
A special day could be a weekend when everyone’s together,
Waking up late, after the clock strikes noon,
Sunny or rainy, any weather,
Living through anything together is a special day in itself
A special day could be a birthday or some other holiday,
Yet when the years pass through and through,
It won’t be a holiday or a birthday that you remember all day,
It’ll be those normal days that turn into your own special days.
