The rough book....

Spare A Moment, Spare A Thought !

The rough book
You were born new and beautiful
Like all other books with you...
But your purpose was different;

You never denied your lap
For a difficult Maths problem
To a boring geography map,

You never minded burden of
Coding and decoding of
 thousands of vocabulary,
May it be from
Sanskrit to economics
Or astrophysics to statistics;

You are witness to many afternoon
Sketches to nostalgic memories,

You are torn at some pages
Even dirty or folded in others,
But you don't mind
You don't complain not even once;

You are the backbone
Of your family of books,
You are the brain of subjects
You nourished and nurtured
All others in your bag;
To help them to be neat
Proficient,organised and worthy,
You spared them from all the burden
All the trouble and helped them to flourish
unflinchingly carrying your legacy;

You never looked back, never
Looked at your torn image
Not even at the dirt on your edge'
You are happy with giving
A life to all others in your bag;

A beautiful life,
A meaningful one to their existence
And loved to  see them
Flourish in their own ways!

Torn pages didn't bother you
Immature handwriting didn't
Deter you, your look didn't
Matter you, because you
Have a beautiful soul within!

Because you had  all the wisdom and memory,
Abundance of love and care,
A heart  full of  nostalgia and
Always ready to share;

The world around you
Is beautiful, worthy and amazing
Because you and only you are there...

There  is always a rough book
In and around our lives
Spare a moment ! Spare a thought !!
To feel,to realise,to appreciate
And to be grateful for it before it is over!!!
