Wrinkles

by Dr. Jaipal Singh



He was upset and weary Observing first wrinkle on face So the sunny days of Prime youth are finally over And time is not very far off When the mirror will ridicule For more wrinkles will pounce On body and face to take over. He remained depressed and sad Till one day realization came All of us see first light as infant Grow to a child, adolescent and teenager As young then mature only to grow older All are the phases of a life-cycle Growing naturally is so graceful In this mystical universe. What we really need to care To avoid wrinkles on mind and soul Lest we begin losing compassion For the nature and surroundings Or even empathy, love and care For our own beloved one(s) Now and from the yesteryears.

To avoid wrinkles on mind and soul
Lest we begin losing compassion
For nature and surroundings.
