You Seek, What You Hide!

Peek-a-boo! Got you too!

Hope that brought a smile, yes, that is my style..

to do something, not done in a while..

I like to remind, what you left behind..

Because,

It becomes quite a grind, when you need to find,

Something you hid, which is now out of your mind!

Can you recall, Why you hid it?

After all, it was you, who did it!

“No I did not! I just forgot.

On purpose, I did not hide it.

Things arose, thorns in a rose…

Hard to dispose, a necessary dose,

Of life, I suppose!

Times passed, Priorities changed,

I could not decide, when it moved aside,

I had to abide, those were the rules of the ride…”

These rules were not set in stone, to change it, I can break a bone…

This ‘it’ this thing, is ‘FUN’ with all the intended pun!

Don’t you hide it again, even if someone points a gun!

I mean seriously, Religiously, have some fun…

Take it from your conscience, (yes of course, it’s me TALKING!)

Your life has fun, exactly like the days have sun.

Not all days could be sunny, neither can all jokes be funny…

Taking out the fun, is like taking out the sun…

A short span can be managed, then its you vs a loaded gun!

See what I did there, have some fun!

After all, it’s for you to decide, do you want it to hide?

’Cause it will abide!

Please don’t let that happen…

“Heard you! To have fun, I decide… and before its gone, I will seek, what I hide!”
