The morning mist giving into crisp air
The golden rays giving message of a new day
Sitting near the window as always
Listening to the distant chirping
Knowing now anytime they will be here
They are my companions since a long time,
A mix of new and old needing no invitation
They land here everyday without any fear
They know the place and the grains
It is as if it is their right to be here
Some may happily pick at the scatterted grains
Looking left and right or sometimes straight at me,
As if greeting and asking my welfare
But some may make a few sorties with their mouthful
Lovingly and tirelesly feeding their new borns
Looking at them i wonder at their attitude
Seldom they will hoard for future use
Not a thought for rainy days
Taking care of the need of the day
They stop the feeding mouths when the wings grow
For they know that their little ones need them no more
I look at my lonely self with a sad smile
I gave my whole life to bring up my little ones
Thinking my only purpose to be at their beck and call
I never let them grow up and be on their own
I feared to let them venture into the world alone,
But one day they left me to fulfil their dreams
Why i felt led down by what was to be,
Why i never thought my first duty was towards me
Today i learnt a lesson from chirping friends of mine
Be happy and take care of NOW
The world round me will fall in-step with me
HE will take care of me as long as i am here
No need to punish myself with horrding
As i came only with a heartbeat
And will leave without it
