How little things
Matters in life
You will recall
When life becomes
Full of many a strife
When you are lonely
And silence prevails
Then only
The moments of joys
Long forgotten
Get unveiled
Slowly
The old memories
Get revealed
Time spent
With children and friends for ever
With wife, beloved and lover
Little moments
Make life great
The moments of gratitude
And unyielding attitude
You remember
Your follies
Smile on some
Regret on other
On reaching altitude
And gaining aptitude
Little moments of life
Seem more important
Than all achievements
After travelling through plains
And valleys
Of the field of struggle
Life is full of battles
Some with values
Great and little
The moments long spent
Get surfaced like ripples
On the floor of ocean
The ocean of our lives
So deep and profound
Unexplored as it’s abound
Little moments of life
Have more importance
Than years of existence

{This was written when thought over what makes life so enjoyable and how we skip them for no reasons but to reach the destination which is nowhere on this mundane Earth.}

At the moment
Have delight
In everything you do
Please, please
Don’t make excuse
Don’t say
It’s night
Wait for the day
But do
At this moment
You know
Time never comes
It’s we who go
How can I show?
Time is imaginary
Time is futility
But only activity is reality
You are alive
At the moment
Enjoy every event
Don’t repent
For what you did in past
But do aright
At the present
Do in the best way
If you can do
Here and now
Don’t ask how
You know it well
Just start
And it will get accomplished
Your art and ability will get polished
Everyone must heed
We are born in the world
And constantly growing old
We will leave behind
Not silver and gold
But some sweet memories
Or a little miseries
A list of deeds
Done and undone
Done badly or done well
And this will judge our lives
Your deed may be
Like a little straw
Floating on the surface of sea
What we call world
Your deed may be solid as stone
And having a weight of ton
But it may dive deep
If not kept at right place
On Earth’s surface
The deeds done
For the needy people
For the poorest of poor
Will determine you true value
So pay heeds my brother, pay heed
Do things right
At right moment
With all your might
And enjoy a life of delight
Shashikant Nishant Sharma

I saw a little boy
Playing without toy
He was merry and gay
In ecstasy, I can say
Undisturbed by worldly affairs
He assumed no airs
He played in dust
Almost lost in lust
Lust of playful pleasure
Enjoying time of leisure
Boy was very naughty
Feared not to get dirty
Enjoyed playing with sand
Taking sand in hand 
Making and breaking
Structures of imagination
Throwing sand on his head and shoulders
Like a bravest of brave soldiers
He was playing in the sun
With unlimited fun
From here to there
There to here
Hither and thither 
He skipped and jumped
With joy he popped 
I saw him one day
But, he in my memory, stay
As a evergreen pleasure
And flashes when in leisure

O my darling
Understand my feeling
Come near
And call me dear
You are my heart
Let me flirt
Come nearer
Feel the touch
Touch of a manly hand
Besides me do stand
Don’t miss the chance
Let’s romance
On the tune of nature
Let’s dance
Let two hearts become one
Make me special from someone
We are made for each other
Like bird and its feather
Like Ocean and water
Like strings of a guitar
Let’s play of music
Music of two hearts
Let’s feel the beauty
The beauty of eternal arts
Do love me
Love like your duty
Feel my heart with glee
Listen to untold plea
O my darling
Understand my feeling

• I want to see
  Only and only you
  Be in my view
  Before my eyes
  Come closer to me
  Like fire flies
  Come soon
  Like shining moon
  Show me your face
  Don’t keep me in mess
  Come soon like moon
  Before my eyes
  In the sky
  Sky of my dream

• • When a man tried to give a 25 paisa coin to a beggar
    The beggar refused to accept and said further
    O sir, my mother and father
    There is price hike everywhere
    We accept one rupee coin or more
    The man said louder
    I can’t give you more
    The beggar said being impatient
    Why are you standing? 
    And not understanding
    Come and beg with me
    I will pay you 50 paisa per client
    Begging is immoral an illegal
    The man tried to give counsel
    The beggar replied with caution
    Begging is my passion
    Now it has become my profession
    Thinking to expand my business
    Cover more areas and make it larger
    He uttered an offer
    You join me, my brother
    I will make you my branch manager
    Of the new venture
    The talk stops
    Prevails a silence
    He thought better to leave
    Without letting anyone notice
    Reality is far from our perception
    Stop giving alms
    Make a difference
    Help if you can
    Don’t promote beggary
    In the name of charity
    This is the reality
    {This was written after overhearing the conversation of the beggars and subsequent news of beggary as profession promoted by some gangs in Cities. Also a small documentary on Delhi Durdarshan channel showed how some greedy persons in beggary mutilated the limbs of small child to make them beggar. Since then I have not given any alms to any beggar.}

Beautiful, beautiful
Purple, violet, red
Spotted and varied
Butterfly, butterfly
Little Rishu does say
Come and play
Butterfly, butterfly
Like you 
I want to fly 
Very, very high
And view 
Beautiful flowers
And playing kids
Who oft skids
While running
Playing in the garden
O beautiful butterfly
Come and take me high
High above in the sky
O my sweet butterfly, butterfly

O my grandmother
Sweet like sugar
You are great
You taught me alphabet
How to write
With pen on paper white
You taught me later
How to do things right
You made me bold 
To pronounce the word
You took me to school
You are so nice and cool
I played more
Learnt little
You used to wait
Sitting on the stool
Till my class ended
You cared me
Whenever I got wounded
You taught me every little thing
Like an experienced teacher
You guided me to learn
From the things of world
New and old
No one is far better
Than you 
O my grandmother
