Countdown of an (extra)ordinary life

Count till you hit 18

Work your way through weekly tests, mid term and finals

Untill one day you breakfree from the dreary dreadful routine

Count till you turn 23

land a decent job, earn a few degrees

Cut that umblical chord, pay your rent, electricity and phone bill

Count till you find your prince charming or damsel in distress who you set free

Build a nest, get ready to live in a dream

And when your world becomes a little empty, Count as you are blessed with angels who give you wings and the wind beneath

Count as they grow, knowing fully well they will fly away to another countdown soon

Like how you were the wings to your parents and their dreams, few realised and some unfullfilled

Count your friends and family and the money in your bank, count your good deeds and bad

Childhood games, interesting dates and the romance, Butterflies when he proposed or relief as she said yes!

Count moments that changed you , when you held your little one in arms and when your parents said you are a good son or a daughter they can talk to

When your best friend called in need and said your presence makes a difference to him

When your husband seeks comfort and cuddles or your wife phones and waits as you return

Travel to places new and old with family and friends , with food and wine, pictures, adventure and fun galore

As one year ends and the next begins,

Count extraordinary moments in one ordinary but fairytale of a life you have!

Rewind and play in head, miracles lived and new ones to come, breakfree shackles of monotony and blues!
