What Shall I do?

by Indira Mukhopadhyay

My photography is better than my write up

What shall I do? What shall I do?

I listen better than I speak

What shall I do? What shall I do?

I serve better than

I care for myself 

What shall I do? What shall I do?

I love others more than

I love myself

What shall I do? What shall I do?

I love outdoors more than indoors

What shall I do? What shall I do?

I can write but who will read?

I can speak but who will listen

I can live for myself but 

What about others?

I want to  roam around the world but what about family?

What shall I do? What shall I do?

My mind is like a wanderer but shackled to this body

What shall I do? What shall I do?

Indira Mukhopadhyay

I'm 68 years old, wife of Ayudh Bhushan( an award conferred by Director Genral Of Ordnance Factories, India). I love everything that life has bestowed on me. Good as a blessings and bad as an experience and strength to fight more. I love music, drawing and writing poems and short story for challenges. I believe that sharing is caring.
