A LOT LIFE

Little everyday things without which life feels empty

By Nayeem HjPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

Lost in dreams until a melody seeps

A wake up call that the alarm beeps

The day begins, or has it…

Five more minutes that’s less than a bit .

The touch of cold water, freshening me awake

The day… bring it on I’ll take

Hey Mom, ready for tarts…

Cooking together, a meal of hearts

A little nourished

A lot cherished

Day goes on, studies don’t stop

Or do they… With books in hand, here I plop

But they aren’t just any books, Oh No...

A huge adventure awaits, You know!

Question is which dimension must I take?

One that lets me have a break…

Mythology,Games, Fantasy or Mystery

Each having their own history

I’m just a traveller, passing by

These created worlds in mind’s eye

Thankful for the getaway

Now all I have to do is stay

A little lost

A lot I have crossed

Hours pass by and it’s lunch time

Ready or not it’s cooking time

Takes a little longer to make

Maybe I should just bake

Lunch is served

With nothing reserved

A blessing of a full table

And a wonderful family With no label

A little delightful

A lot grateful.

Time slips as evening comes

Spending time with family and friends is all that it sums

I could go long

Maybe even listen to a song

A bit of paints, a touch of quills

A bit of dramas, a touch of thrills

A little done

A lot fun

Time to clean up

No need to stay up

Maybe dinner, maybe not

Basically that’s all I have got

Time to turn in

Another day done with a grin

Thankful for the little things

And everything that it brings.

Night night

Let’s close the light

A little Strife…

A lot Life !
