Should I Accept Or Not? Poem by Geetha Jayakumar
Should I Accept Or Not?
I just smiled at the poor little girl dressed in torn rags
with cute pony tail dancing behind.
She smilingly came in front of me.
Two little groundnuts held in her tiny fists
When opened it was wet with sweat of love.
She offered me with her twinkling eyes.
So innocent she was
She didn't give a second thought before offering.
She put me in dilemma should I accept or not?
Just forget the hygiene.
I am not asking to have it.
Should I break her heart by refusing it?
But if I take
How much delighted will she feel
That no words can describe her love in giving though a small one!
By refusing it I make her realise what she is!
Or
Is it right to think, how come a beggar,
Who cannot stand on her feet is giving me?
Should I tell, first stand in your feet then think of it.
Or by accepting it am I degraded?
If she gives you her alms with love will you accept it?
A person standing in a pit or in a pool of tears too
can add something valuable to you life!
Don't underestimate others love and care.
Remember, a person in pain too can offer you a lending hand.
Some love are unconditional
After loosing it, you will realise due to your own false pride you have lost!
Life is short.
Accept the alms with love if the hands too are giving with love.

if the hands too are giving with love... nice feeling accept love and believe luck is pendilum it may come any time
When life itself is a give and take affair in its real logic, we have to take whatever is offered provided it is done with heart and not by hands alone. A poem that can be much more interpreted. Well written Geetha.
Thought process nicely explained. Beautiful poem. Thank you.
If there is no malicious undercurrent, I feel, it is always best to accept the offer. In this poem the child is love, simplicity and innocence personified. A brilliant poem which touches the string of the heart.
.the internal struggle and dilemma makes the poem beautiful and enhances its flow..........lovely write....... I invite you to read my poem- .never look like one
Innocent love should not be ignored at any cost.One is fortunate to get it free now a days.Beautiful drop.
A very fine situational poem trickling from the sense of confusion.
I would love to have that soiled sweat soaked nut, that is nothing but a blessing in deed, from an innocent child shaped angel in deed.
Very beautiful. I was there ready to accept the groundnuts this would have made my day as well as this little one with a giant heart.
