Fitment

A small colony;
In a relatively smaller town of India.
A child, reprimanded by his parents:
“Look at your brother”, his father says.
“Brilliant guy, 6 pointer in school final exams.
He, unlike you, has a bright future.
Why can’t you learn something from him”?
A shoe; he is expected to fill
Appears too big!

That was the beginning.
Every time hence,
Whenever life placed a shoe before him,
Inviting him to step in,
He had found it to be too large for his feet.
A misfit therefore he remained.
Tramping through life’s woods and deserts,
At his merry pace,
Enduring all that the journey offered,
Content to be blessed by nature’s grace.
He had his own boots though;
Worn with use but nevertheless,
Fitting him to a tee.
And the thought
of anyone else stepping into them
Never bothered him!

Unique is every human.
Limited by one’s ability, bounded by his vision.
Barefoot or booted,
The journey, individually, must be completed. 

PS : Wishing every one  A Very Happy New Year.
