Pradip Chattopadhyay - Gift

If you have in mind to give someone a gift
Love or just anything to bring a cheer's lift
Don't defer do it now before it's too late
A time may come bitter to leave you in regret!

Don't keep deferring a gift by pondering over it
Or thinking it can further wait in time's endless pit
Tomorrow it may so happen that the one in mind is gone
Without ever having your gift leaving that work undone!

If you have in mind to gift someone a thing or two
Keep it not in abeyance make the now its time to do
Next time is a long time so it may never leave your heart
You delayed the gift too long and chance was swift to depart!

Once the wish grows in mind to give someone a gift
Hurry for tides may change sands may go for a shift
Do it now get it done and treasure the receiver's smile
So you don't have to regret the rest of your walking mile!
