Journey
The
craving at the smell of a hot bitter coffee
The
goose-bumps from a cold morning shower
The
excitement at my name being called out first
The
modesty when I'm patted for emerging winner
The
exuberance at my team’s triumph
The
sobriety expressed - only when depressed
The
abstinence at being told I’m wrong
The
flutter each time he utters ‘It's you I love!’
The
nervousness before each long-awaited kiss
And
the blush that follows - never goes amiss!
The
responsibility on holding a baby close
The
pride at my niece’s victory, to boast!
The
comfort from a friend’s ever-giving efforts
The
hatred when another good one betrays
The
sympathetic tears at a stranger’s demise
The
agony at watching a near one's pain
The
helplessness on seeing a stray puppy cry
The
brief content on helping a blind in need
The
peace when the gushing streams caress my feet
The
momentary dislike when a sibling screams
The
easy yawn as I rest on my mother’s lap
The
sleep that ships me to an Utopian dream
- is what keeps me going.
And
not money.
