I Wished To Be

I had never dreamed And assumed That I should be rich And world should be within my reach I never prayed for worldly happiness I wanted cheerful face To make parents happy And feel their time peacefully Many times when mothers used to fall sick I was, as child, used to pray god to restore her back Take few years from life and grant her long stay Such was attachment that was unique in a way You all know what poverty is about? It takes heavy toll and has deep root No one would come to your rescue And offer assistance even if they view it Despite all these, I wished to be ordinary Humble, down to earth and visionary Who could see and observe real secret The world if wanted to go mad, let it happen I had seen one thing out right It was for acquiring material delight No one was asking for good health and prosperity It was with one aim and all prayers for almighty
