I wrote this poem last year and thought I’d repost it. I’d also like to dedicate it to Marie, one of my blogger friends, on her birthday which she celebrates today. Have a wonderful birthday Marie. ❤️

Little girl take care
Don’t let the world tie you down
Shove you in a box
You were born with wings
Spread them out– take to the sky
You were born to fly
Step out of the box
That will confine how you think–
Limit your worldview
Beware of the cage
That barricades your thoughts with bars
Of doubts and fears
Find the pearls within
Shake off the grey shells of doom
You were born to bloom
Hoist out of your own petard…
This is a beautiful poem Chevvy – words that encourage and strengthen. Thank you so much for dedicating it to me and your kind birthday wishes – I shall treasure it.

A beautiful birthday tribute, Chevvy. It takes strength to keep the world from boxing us in, but flying free is worth it. I like the casual rhymes sprinkled throughout. Nice touch. 🙂

Thank you again Kunal. I’ve been listening to the Diwali crackers and been reminded of you. But hey, the shops are full of Christmas goodies and there we go again!😀 Still, I hope you had a good time and remembered the original intent.
