How much I wish….

How much I wish….
I had known this before…

When I was 1; I wanted to run.
When I was 6; I wanted to be big.
When I was 16;I hated being a teen.
When I was 22; I was full of enthu.
When I was 30; I was thirsty.
When I was 50; I wanted to be 20.
When I was 70; I wanted everything all over again.

Now I am 80 and realized;
Life is Now,
It is now what we have or who we are…

How much I wish….
I had known this before…

As a kid, I was scared of making mistakes.
As a kid, I was scared of the unseen.
As a kid, I was scared of being laughed at.

Scared at being ridiculed;
Scared of Losing….

Now I am eighty and I know;

It doesn’t matter
It doesn’t matter

No one bothers to laugh at you.
Even if they do it is not your business
The only thing that matters to you is:

Did you try
Did you work hard
Did you do your bit honestly.

How much I wish….
I had known this before…

How much I wish….
I had known this before…
