Some times I wonder how
As in earlier times, it so went on
A boy when he likes a girl
Tries hard in so many ways
So that he could woo her
To see her just from far
Or to catch a glimpse of her walking past
Even while no talk was made
No pleasantries exchanged
And so it was often found
There were affairs few
But heartbreaks many
But now we just don’t find
All those old ways of making friends
Kuchoo koo ing and wooing her
On roads, in halls and communities small
Each generation has a different style
Do they wish to lavish praise
And girls who secretly hope they care
But now the kids grow up with software wares
Communicate, network with much speed
Which seems to fit them for all their needs
Not the ways of the old days
When girls were treated with much more care
Now she learns to make her share
Changing pattern of their lives
No more chivalrous knights
Running away with anxious brides
Treating them well and with care
A lifelong partnership deed to sign
Heaven let loose when things go wrong
Some dont want to just hang on
Crying foul why why?
Being together for a while
Must you wash dirty linen and hang out in a line
After being partners in the crime!
Alas! If only we learn
Let love be the centre of life
Love be kindred tender and kind
Love be between the two hearts long
Love be refreshed like morning dew
Love will make their world go around
Let love be the centre of life
I think we all need to re-learn that these days.
Love will make their world go around,
and i pray, these young ones would realize that romantic love makes life worthwhile. it shouldn't be the focus of all things. love in general, on the other hand, should be.
very sweet and beautiful poem.
