Maybe That's The Way It Should Be!

By Dr Foram Parikh

Should I cry because he walked out?

Or be happy for the time spent and memories made?

Should I cry because I lost my purse?

Or be happy for the new handsel bought?

Should I cry because he didn't pull a chair for me?

Or be happy that he asked me out?

Should I cry because I didn't win?

Or be happy that I tried and didn’t give up?

Should I cry because I think I don't make enough money?

Or be happy that I at least have a roof over my head and a plate of food twice a day?

Should I cry for the lost opportunities?

Or be happy for the new doors opening for me?

Should I cry because I didn't get what I wanted?

Or be happy for all the dreams I can visualise anew?

Should I cry because I was rejected?

Or be happy for the lessons learnt?

Should I cry because I didn’t top the exams?

Or be happy that I got to do what a great deal of people dream about but can’t?

Should I cry because I met with an accident?

Or be happy to be at least alive?

Should I curse God for not listening to me?

Or be happy for his bigger and better gifts?

Should I thank you for your reading and patience?

Or be happy to just be able to pen down my thoughts?
