LIFE

He smiled proudly when his fingers were being searched by a tiny life standing four feet below his shoulder, for walking. He smiled more proudly when the tiny life reached one foot below his shoulder and was no longer in the need of his fingers for walking. He was in tears when the tiny life exceeded him both vertically and horizontally in life.

The tiny life started flying in the new horizon it has made for itself. The new identity made him forgotten that it was nothing but a tiny life till yesteryear, which was protected by a secured shoulder and two caring hands.

Suddenly one day, the tiny life packed its luggage, closed the door angrily and moved out of the home refusing to accept that he suppressed all his desires, only to make the desires of the tiny life fulfilled. He did not think of buying new cloths for himself to ensure that the tiny life could wear of his choice on every occasion. He silently put off the earthen lamp, and broke down into tears in the darkness of the night, holding the hand of hers.
