The Card

No title needed
A strong and humble beginning
A short intro at the inner side
Bamboo plants were there to welcome
Green yellow blue yellow green yellow blue
A colourful journey ahead
Words of wisdom to inspire.

An assignment for self
An accomplishment instead
An achievement indeed
A masterpiece from the heart.

An apology for work delayed
A learning opportunity for self
A discovery of new talent
A proud moment to cherish!

A self appraised producer
But proved to be quite good
Happy that efforts were fruitful
Delighted of being inspired!

The card was actually a letter
Thoughts jotted down by a chatter
Words just flowed without brake
As they freely filled up the lake!

The journey of thoughts continued
A humble question being asked
A nod was easily acquired
Bonding was quick to transpire.

Thankful to the knowledge shared
Appreciation for the guidance led
Though afraid in the very first place
Time was not ripe, what's more, a fearful face!

As moments passed, the truth prevailed
That was just the real beginning
It was food that drew the crowd
"I was fat because I ate a lot"

I like to eat and always admire
You get to eat all the home-cooked food
At home we eat as simple as it could be
Well, simplicity is the key to moderation.

Happiness comes from within the mind
Happiness attained through the culture of the mind
Is real and enduring

In every case, our happiness is rendered
More intense or more permanent
By being shared with friends
Therefore the best way to be happy
Is to make others happy too.

Was it bored going through all these
Apology if they were
Self introduction to the family
Moving on to self interests.
