47. Poem

I lead a simple life

Of truth and bliss

There's nothing I hide

Nothing going amiss

 

I pray from my heart

To God almighty 

He answers my prayers

And blesses me immensely 

 

I love from my soul

And never give up hope

It's a love forever to stay

Till my very last breath

 

I'm a true friend to stand

Always by your side

I do feel pain and hurt

If you do me something bad

 

I'm just a human 

With limited desires and means

Although I have big dreams to achieve

But that's going to be, when it'll  be

 

I live a simple life

And I'm quite happy with it

No worries to bother me

No responsibilities to see

 

I'm a simple person

What you see is real me

If sad, I Bear that look

If glad, I'm always chirpy 

 

I'm a normal human being

With a clean heart and pure soul 

I give what I receive 

Always living freely 

 

I'm just an ordinary being

With a heart of gold

Glittering With loyalty and honesty

For everyone near and dear to me

 

I'm a traveller in this world

Always ready to leave 

Prepared my belongings well 

Which I shall carry with me 

 

I'm a chef of love 

Cooking with great skill 

Cuisines mixed with loving ingredients 

Determined to eat well and serve well

 

I'm a little poetic in words

Often without rhymes and reasons

Following words that touches my soul 

Turning my sweet feelings into sort of poetry

There are some great lines here. I think the stanza that begins with I'm a chef of love is my favourite.
Nice one
