Grass is always greener on the other side.....

Grass is always green on the other side

Ask a ten year old kid going to school

Or ask an old mechanic working on his tool

Why is it that with rules we always have to abide


You peek in the ruins of your conscious mind

Where life flickers off and on in alteration

The quizzical look on the face is just a reflection

The mind always looks to the distant ringing bells as a friend


Grass is always green on the other side

Only the halcyon days of yesterday are remembered with joy

You remember the sweet old first love and its first expression, coy!!

But we surrender for ambition and our own isolate covenant of conscience


You live for dreams, both frustrated and realized

You step into the all engrossing rat race

It only helps you lose the smile on your face

What you still have to achieve will continue to keep you amazed


Grass can be seen to be greener on your side

But you need to have the courage to say ‘Yes’ to life

Even if it means to try when you are torn with strife

And all it takes is to treat each moment as a joyful ride!!!
