It Was Such A Small Thing Poem by Zakir Sayeed

It is the first day at school;
Everyone looking like fool.
Everybody was alien, approach was awkward.
Don't know how will you adjust?
Later your wrinkled eyes recall to say,
It was just a small thing.

A feud with friend on a perfect day,
Neither wanted that way;
Apology none wanted to say,
Both had egos in a straight line.
Till last stand neither curved it and became kind,
Until others influenced peace to minds.
Later your wrinkled eyes would recall to say,
It was just a small thing.

Classes were bunked to theater, watch a film new;
Without the knowledge to many, along with just a friends few.
the joy was lot, the movies were great.
Then you felt the happy fate.
Later your wrinkled eyes would recall to say,
It was just a small thing.

Young blood used to run after money,
Forgetting humanity and family.
Right or wrong, justified or not works are done.
Nothing is easy nor fun.
Later your wrinkled eyes would recall to say,
It was just a small thing.

The brain with grey hairs feels the wasted the life,
Wasted a lot for many useless things.
But when thinks about
Lullaby of mother,
Hug from the sister,
Fight with the brother,
Kiss of the lover,
Jokes of the friends
Feels how precious were those and relations so gracious.
These brings tears streaming down the wrinkled eyes.
Then you would say
It was not just a small thing...
