Oranges are not the only fruits



ORANGES ARE NOT THE ONLY FRUITS
================================

Watch a school going boy and,girl is knitting the wool
Only Oranges are not fruit,so enjoy watermelons cool

Morning sun rays swaying at floor a golden boast
A wife serves her husband jam piled high on a toast

Outside the window,the romantic peacock is dancing
A gentleman wearing V shaped blue sweater is glancing

The young neighbor lady smiles while washing the dresses
And going to office,her husband kisses her softly and blesses

Grandfather sips cup of coffee with fresh cookies in backyard
Grandmother walks barefoot on grass looking at her bodyguard

Thanks God for all you have full stomach, a little or,plenty
Learn to content with whatever you have nothing or empty

I am the glorious fraction of the supreme whole
On funny but meaningful excursion of life's goal

Exiting painful,confused dark window of the night
Entering Into blissful Lighted door of God Gifted life

Life is not a meaningless word written on the water
Leave your remarkable seal on the Earth,my daughter
