Pay it forward

Is the purpose of life so self-willed?

 A race for money

and ending with endless guilt.

The guilt of not doing what my heart said to me 

But busied myself living others' dreams.

And soon a thought clouded my mind

Ocean of my conscience 

holding 2 raindrops

pay it forward or pay it back.

The choice was mine.

I made my rainbow of happiness with 

Pay it forward drop

And deserted to dry

The Pay it back raindrop.

Two fireflies like eyes gleaming and sparkling

seeing through the doors of thunders.

Looking for a streak of hope to enter

And wishing hard for the weather to change,

For night turning to a day.

Two eyes so tired, alone, and helpless.

Walked in me with my rainbow of happiness

To make their day, gay and shiny like the sun 

Paying it forward for all what I have 

For all what I can do in my might.

I cannot change the weather for them 

but can open the door of thunder for some time.

Let the frightened firefly set free for a while

to the world of hopes and desires even if it is for a few hours. 

Pay it forward with your skills and your smiles

It may be small but can make big difference in someone's life.
