A Regretful Smile

by Dr. Jaipal Singh



Way back in the tender age In a tryst with the destiny He was blessed with joy of love A pure, sweet and innocent love. But in an impending dilemma Of listening to heart or mind Love or work, work or love He had then chosen the mind. A sort of matrimonial alliance, Ever since he and his work Savour and devour each other Every day for prolonged hours. In the balance time remaining He lives with a regretful smile In remembrance what he missed During the life without his life.

Thank you, Kingshukji, I agree. One could ascribe it to many reasons but no excuse can compensate loss.

Very nice! So true it is! Sometimes even knowing the truth, we fail to respond to our heart.
