What You Should Fear Most

November 10, 2023 by SUMMER LOTUS 2 Comments

10th November 2023. 1 min read (Published in ‘The Power of Poetry’ on medium.com)0

Man, fear as you grow older,

That you become more and more grumpy 

Woman, fear as you grow older,

That You become more and more frumpy

That is the manifestation in reality

This is rather common in actuality

It requires a certain mentality

To get out of this normality

Hark back to your youth in detail 

When Memories of smiles and laughter prevailed

You ain’t got a care in the world then

Till the troubles of life made you comprehend

When you allow life’s events get you down

You react to everything with a frown 

Rather, stay free and easy at all times

Above all, be serene and sublime

Life’s trivialities are there to tone and hone

Never lose sight of this even when all alone

The grumpy man will  start to smile

The grumpy woman will start to style

    This is a beautiful poem to boot. It shows one has a choice to make , to adopt a positive attitude and perspective as one hankers back to the younger carefree days or lives to frown over trivialities and vexation of life. As the writer, filled with wisdom and grace opts to see the bright side of life viewing the flaws of human as beauty unto itself according to Wabi Sabi. Very inspiring and motivating indeed, is this poem spontaneously composed from the bottom of your heart, not affected by the tantrum and agitation of a successful retired entrepreneur.
