A Lesson

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……
