The world at your heart.


It is a wonderful world, the way it is,
Today you see a leaf budding out of its branch,
And tomorrow you see a caterpillar munching it.
Today the ducks get together for a fiesta,
And just after noon, you only get their feathers and poop.
So far it has been a wonderful world, unique in its own way.

It is a terrible world, decidedly as it is,
Today you get your dress on, neatly ironed,
And with the slightest waive of your hand, you coffee spills on it.
Today you get your new mobile phone, fully accessorized,
And by nighttime, it shuts down, circuit failure.
Really it is a terrible world, if you choose to see it that way.

It is a pleasing world, with surprises that excite you,
Today you get fired as a waiter, for spilling water on your shoes,
And tomorrow, you get a letter, an offer to study someplace else.
Today you saw the marble you wanted sold to another boy,
And tomorrow, you see a yoyo, a gift you have always wanted.
Again, it is a pleasing world, if we notice these small occurrences.

It is a saddening world, with tears and cries that overthrows you,
Today you lost your kitten, after only a week with you,
And tomorrow, you find the matching pair of your ear rings missing.
Today your car tyre bursts, getting you late to the office,
And tomorrow, the mechanics say they have no stock for the tyre that suits the car.
Occasionally, it is a saddening world, devastating at times.

It is a wonderful world, the way it is,
Today you see your best man running away with the rings,
And later, a report gets to you, the robber got hit, the rings secured.
Today you pray for the best things to happen,
And tomorrow, it occurs differently, but amazing you.
So far it has been a wonderful world, unique in its own way.

It actually is a wonderful world,
Desirable, enviable, adorable.
It really has been a wonderful world,
With surprises that could even take your heart away.
