Even the fairy tales ingrained in my mind,
Joys of life lay in the riches of every kind,
A poor Cinderella marrying a rich prince ,
Who didn’t even recognise her in rags,
Drooling over treasures found by the laity ,
Imagined I that here lay the gaiety,
Life’s harsh lessons made me realise,
Every little joy comes with a sweet price,
Our friends and families keep us in good cheer,
Make others smile ,you will have no fear,
Just like a ball bounced on the wall ,
Returns with interest joy big or small .
