War or Piece!!

Be mindful of
where you stand
washing your hands
To defeat this enigma
of the virus called Corona

Life Lessons!

She twirled and giggled
amidst frolicking waves
Then dad and daughter huddled
before building their sand enclave


I watched the adorable pair
Filling pails of sand and water
Admiring the castle built with care
Living precious moments of love and laughter

There stood the glistening beauty
Complete with a flag and a moat
The architects lauding their duty
Disregarding  specs of gravel on their curly hair and throat

A mighty wave came dancing
And gobbled up the castle in a gulp
The little lass was squealing and prancing
As the castle now turned into a sand pulp

Soul stirring thoughts flashed in a flash
About how kids almost always live in the moment
From the inception of the castle to it's bash
My little girl lived and enjoyed every component

There was a lesson to take away
Of mindfulness and living in the moment
It's the only way to live no matter if you choose to say
cogli l'attimo, Varthamane Jeeva or saisir le moment**

String one mindful moment after another
To make life more worthwhile
That's the philosophy to weather
All weathers and improve your life style!!

**(cogli l'attimo - Italian for seize the moment, Varthamane Jeeva - Sanskrit for live in the present,saisir le moment - French for seize the moment)
