Confidence

Confidence cannot be a coincidence

Build up from your inner self

To stand up for yourself.

Confidence is not about how different

You are from others

But time to realize that

There is no reason to compare

Yourself with others.

Confidence is key to Happiness

With which you can change 

Pain to Pleasure

Darkness to Light

Sadness to Joy

A Smile

An inexpensive ornament

Goes well with any attire

Rich and poor

Young and old

Anyone can wear

Wear it with pride

Day-in day-out

To spread sheer joy

All-around

What you get back

Is the mirror reflection of

What you share

With utmost care

Believe me,

It costs nothing

But gets you everything! 

A poem to our beloved son Sharvesh, when a smile was missing on his face in the video call
