YOU CAN..

You can choose your friends,
But not your relations.
You can choose your wives,
But not your sons.

You can have a good day,
But a bad noon.
You can have a long life,
But a bad boon.

You can have a past without a future,
But not a future without a past.
You can have a day without me,
But not me without a day.

You can cry to lighten your heart,
But not lighten your heart to cry.
You can recall our days to smile,
But not smile to recall our days.

You can have me in your last days,
But not your last days in me.
You can have a known one to degrade,
But not degrade to a “known one”.

I feel the sun from both sides,
But I don’t burn.
I shower all love on you,
But I don’t dry.

You may wonder who am I,
It’s ‘me’,
Who will strive to be ‘me’,
Not to reason why!
