STORYTELLER

A boy of seventeen
ending his school days
got for studying further.
A bag of hopes and a smile on face
was all he owned.
New place and new faces
were all he got along with.
As the days passed
he grew up
with his life
– both taking steps together.
……………………………………………….
Now he walks the same path
with a bag even bigger
and a jug of memories
still pouring on.
All that hasn’t changed
– smile.
It still owns his face
as this storyteller
carries on
mending his sweat
at present
into sweet memories
for tomorrow
writing his own story.
