once during one of my times amidst a river and a mountain peak
i wondered, what is it that we all seek?
a job where we want to go back to work on monday
earn enough to promise a gift to a loved one and then be able to pay
a body that without fatigue can run a mile
a tongue that is measured and never utters anything wile
a home where someone kisses after opening the door
and a soft bed to lie when we are tired and sore
food for the present day and for the morrow
and drink at times to celebrate or to forget our sorrow
a past that is like a book, full of learning
a present that is without yearning
and a future having a smiling mourning
to be near to the mother who tended us when we were young
and to be with the father on whose broad shoulders we swung
a friend on who we can rely for our life
and a special someone who through all our thick and thin,
was with us and who we lovingly call as wife
in the end it is the same that we all seek
now i understand how someone could be happy at the bottom
and another be unhappy even at the peak.
Awesome. :)
