How Surprised Are You?

Life is free-flowing with surprises –

Some tally with our dreams,
Some jinx with our nightmares;
Some that we habitually brag about,
Some that trigger super stares.

Some that we brood over for long,
Some that confirm our smile;
Some that conclude to the moral of our story,
Some that walk us a mini mile.

Some print panic alerts on our foreheads,
Some just make us jolly wild;
Some we secretly thank God for,
Some we selfishly hide.

Some as tiny as a new-born baby,
Some that we capture in a frame;
Some that change the way we perceive things,
Surprises beyond surprises – beyond sane.

Some cherish ‘em only when they resonate their wish,
Some be fair, and value it – irrespective;
Some choose to wear it forever skin-close,
Some don’t bother once pockets full of crores.

Some stay humble, and honest to the core;
Surprised by surprises – forevermore.
