AThe Little Thief of My Heart

Everybody speaks of love

of stolen glances, whispered names,

of hearts that race in moonlit silence.

They tell tales of romance,

of hands that meet and never part,

of promises wrapped in forever.

But there is a quieter love

deeper than roses, stronger than time

the love that arrives without warning.

He comes not with poetry,

nor with practiced charm,

but with tiny fingers that curl around yours

as if they’ve always belonged there.

A little boy,

with laughter like sunlight

and eyes that hold your whole world

he doesn’t ask for your heart,

he simply takes it.

No grand confession,

no dramatic beginning

just a moment,

a breath,

a life changed forever.

And suddenly,

you understand

that the greatest love story

was never written in words of romance,

but in the soft whisper of “Mama,”

in the warmth of a small embrace,

in the quiet truth

that your son

is the one

who stole your heart

and made it his home.

NO YESTERYEAR REGRETS

Express your feelings to someone, whom you trust to feel lighter

Later have no yore regrets.

Maintain life’s balance and get better

At the fag end years have no yesteryear regrets.

Meet your friends quite often , text them , speak to them or meet them

At the twilight years have no yesterday’s regrets.

Live not life the way others want you to live.

Live your way

Later have no remorse or past days regrets.

Forgiveness is a virtue

Many can’t forgive because such have high ego.

With such an attitude you lose than to gain,

Which causes immense pain.

Forgive and later have no old time regrets

That is the best before you take rest.

Keep a yardstick setter to get better

Uplift your mood and become more happier

And later of no kind have regrets.

Work hard but up to a limit and nothing beyond

A stage comes turns towards spirituality.

And later have no yore year regrets like why did I work so hard

Learn from other’s experiences if you wish to

And later have no yesteryear regrets.

Penned above are thoughtful pearls of wisdom words

Accept them or not.

Or accept some and ignore others

Or ignore all is a personal choice and not forced upon .

Wish you all, all the very best

Before you are laid to rest.

Live your way less wrong doing way

Pray to god all stay blessed

And have no yesteryear regrets.
