On
the floor, off the mat
We
all sat, slept & ate
Flooring
of mud but broom laid
Cream
of cow dung applied.
Life
was simple though not smooth
Bit
of course with pins and needles
All
of it took years of strain &pain
To
have a floor of cement paste
Life
became a little fine
With
no fear for straw/ pine or rain.
After
long years of earnings and savings
Came
a glossy floor of mosaic
Squares
of many laid across
Life
began to show finesse and patio
With
dearness and dare to dream
Aloof
came a wind of betterment
Which
brought with it a
Reflection
of steps of success
A
smooth finish of marble floor
Start
of prosperity and a sign
Of
sapling growing into a plant.
Attaining
a growth visibly and not
Easy adding in an element of luxury
In
the marble floor
By
Bringing
in a sofa made of velvet
Like
a beautiful craving brought out a Rough stone
Hard
work ways
Patience
pays is what
Life
says.
