I was walking wondering why
An infinitesimal butterfly
Is created with such beauty
But not assigned major duty!
By then, one flew past me
Something splendid and tiny.
Through roads of sand and gravel
I went on to grab the marvel.
I’d almost reached but it further flew
Playing hide n seek, out of my view.
Then, flapping its wings furiously
Slowly alighted on to a maple tree.
The tiny being had unknowingly
Taught me life’s lesson, savoury.
You look here, you search there
For happiness that’s present bare.
‘Tis when you would least expect
That it would upon you alight
Nothing you do will go futile
You’ll be happy, may be in a while……
