Accepted
I am accepted,
I am rejected,
I am delighted,
I am dejected.
The same I is short listed,
The same i is declined.
The night grows older,
The door of acceptance closes.
I sat on the foot path dejected.
One window opens a jar,
A torch light falls on me.
I hide my face in shame .
A little later some soft
Yet strong and reassuring hands
Pulls me, as if, it is a new dawn.
Exactly so!
It was my searching mother !
Her pet sniffs me and hugs me.
My heart is cheered.
Life has still to offer
In the shape of roaming mothers.
Why should one rejection
From a seeming love
Can make me suffer!
