To Give Or Not To Give?

To give or not to give?

When the blinds and the disabled
Came to me
Should I give
Or not to give
My money
As good deed?

When the kid and the incapable
Came to me
To sell some things
Not ask for free
Should I give
Or pretend I don’t see?

Would I be
contributing endlessly
To future crimes
Encouraging sadly deeds
If I give
And chose not to flee?

To give or not to give?
I think and think
And chose to believe
As good deed
As good deed
Irregardless what it’d be…

Fast Forward - Love

Oh! Another gray hair..

I turned and saw him sound asleep. Still adorable. The book that he was reading hours ago, now on his chest. Sitting next to him, I could see that he too has some fine lines on his forehead.

I gazed towards the sea. Rocking my chair. I flashed-back how we celebrated our 10th anniversary, 20th anniversary and the recent 30th anniversary. Amazing..

How time flies. Thinking back over all these years – over the joys and triumphs, over the difficulties and challenges – what was it that made us able to stay together and be (more or less) happy through all of it?
I wonder.

I turned to him again as his touch alerted me. He smiled and I smiled back to the man that just minutes ago snoring like pig. He held my hand. He still held my hand. Maybe that’s why, I never regretted that I chose him..
