ALL I WISHED FOR......

I wished I were born to a wealthy and royal king

All I was gifted with were the most beneficent set of parents


I wished I were Snow White with seven care-takers

All I experienced was a childhood with siblings only more caring than the dwarfs


I wished I had a tutor coming home (royal learning)

All I got were schoolmates who turned to life-long buddies


I wished I never had to go to college

All I could capture were incredible memories of my teens


I wished I climbed the mt. everest

All I experienced were beautiful and memorable little treks


I wished I was on the top of the world

All I experienced was being a part of it


I wished I married the royal way

All I experienced was ‘falling in love’


I wished I did not have to painfully undergo child-birth

All I was gifted with was the ecstatic feeling of ‘motherhood’


I wished I had the benefits of being a man

All I was gifted with was the tenderness of ‘being a woman’


I wished I was righteous in all my ways

All I did was being a ‘petty human’


I wished I found salvation

All I found was my true li’l self


I wished to design my future

All I found was redemption in my past


I wished all my wishes came true

All I got were cute li’l surprises


I thought I had lost love

All I found was more of it within me


I wished I died at peace

All I got was a beautiful feeling - “LIFE” :-)

This is really Beautiful!! The most treasured things and moments of life are the ones we recklessly ignore. The moment you realize them, Life becomes all the more beautiful!! Just like you did!
