BEAUTIFUL STAIN


MY STAIN..

Life is short… cliché indeed this expression is,
But the truth there in is too true
For futile yours will be when nothing is left to remind
Those later living of how useful you spent the short time,
Kids you may have yet, but the worst critics they are
Looking to you and finding no mentor-ship to emulate
Yet consoling themselves in the fact that you are their parent
That I find harsh and bitter for a soul that seeks rest

My mark I prepare differently
Even with no kids,
 many a kid will want to be like me
Even yours, if yours are but only the procreation mark…
Short and well lived it should be
So that they miss you even when they knew you not
Or were born ten decades into your grave..

From your pot let them sip. Mark the world with you stain
One customized to betray your trade…..
An adorable and beautifying one it should be...
