Icing on the Cake – Delhi Poetry Slam

Icing on the Cake

By Asha Radhakrishnan


Our life is built on the various choices
We make
Our happiness and freedom  put mostly
At stake
Sometimes to  live it  we may have
To forsake
All things we  hold dear  to  soon realize
The mistake
Born free into the world, neither name nor
A make
The kith and kin  developed mostly just
A namesake
The primary truth is that we  live for
Livings sake
But let every step we take  create joy in
Its wake
And one day when we look  at the memories
We rake
To  find happiness in life to have given more
Than take
And peace in our hearts every morning 
We wake
To be alive and healthy  is the icing on
The cake!
