ITS IN YOUR HANDS!

Sometimes life seems unfair but on thinking deeply we realise that life is a reflection of our thoughts! Its with us to determine whether our life is fair or unfair! Yes it is in our hands!

I have travelled many a land,

And with all my experience in front of you I stand,

Saying:

“Sometimes things are just not in your hand!”

With meticulous hard work everything I prepared,

Just to see how in this tournament I fared!

Yes I was in good form,

Just the perfect setting for me to make a norm,

I went to the tournament with all the hope,

But who would know that the things over there would be hard for me to cope,

Being a chess lover,

I completely despised the thought of a walkover,

Still in the first round it was fine,

As the energy was conserved and the point was mine,

For the 2^nd round I was all prepared and geared up,

But the opponent just didn’t turn up!

It is extremely sad that a norm now I cannot make,

And that too when I hadn’t even made a mistake!

Into the horizon I did stare,

Why the hell was life so unfair?

I had 2 options, I thought to myself

Either on the spilt milk I could cry,

Or to play with all my heart I could try.

Yes I realise that this is my test,

And in the remaining rounds I have to give my best!

A lesson I have learnt today,

And hence I say,

I have travelled many a land,

And with all my experience in front of you I stand,

Saying:

Sometimes things are just in your hand,

Sometimes things are just in your hand!!!
