I just loved this poem of yours which has summarized your write-up as well!!
And yes, very true about taking even the smallest things for granted...If only we can understand that by being grateful, we acknowledge the positive traits in ourselves, and thereby giving room for much more optimism in life...hmm....

Have become a big fan of your poems! I would like to compare it with "instant maggi", and you seem to come up with poems within minutes ! Even maggi would loose the race I guess, when it comes to your poetry-writing skills!!!

 

Dear Kamalji,

I am sure you must be seeing them also smile by your jokes.....they would be happier than all the pats, encouragement and what not I mentioned in my comment. Jokes did not come to my mind then. Isn't it a great art to make people smile and forget their problems? I think so..Of which everyone is not capable of.

Thank God for all that rain, in a way isn't it RGS? It not only I am sure, gave you the pleasure of watching and listening to the beauty around you in solitude, but also introduced you to the people who are in your life (and all our lives) yet invisible - neither their fault nor yours/ours. It happens and I am glad you wrote about it for we all have these people in our lives, no doubt about it.

Every Monday night, I wake up around 2 Am to the noise of the truck pulling up to take our garbage, while it might irritate a few for the noise, I for one always end up smiling just knowing that I remembered to keep the trash - if I hate to walk in the cold cold (sometimes snowy) night before I sleep and keep the trash, imagine those guys picking it up! I am sure we all have examples like that and relate to what you are speaking. We all also need that reminder to pause for a moment and acknowledge! While I am mostly surrounded by people who are walking briskly towards their goals, I am also fortunate to have some friends in my neighborhood who absolutely believe they have committed a big sin if they do not give a box of cookies or a small present with a thank you card to these guys during festival days or on those days when they have to dump too much trash to be picked up!

Thank you for a nice write up!

 

I don't think you will ever be able to deliver a stale verse!!
Inspired by your poetic advice, here's one for you

Writing a verse is easy only for RGS
And if only I could say 'Yes'
To statements similar like the one you have just have written
Because of which all fans like me are smitten
