Ask My Accountant

How can I wink away the nuances

each one a rock edict,

I live a life to call my own.

Parents, teachers gave me

rule books to follow,

In-laws and husband thought for me

and gave instructions

life now a pearl pressed

by so many hands.

Today I don't hold any rule book

I breathe my life on

earth, air and sky.

I walk alone, swim the air

to measure my sky.

If I do not drop on the earth

never think I am gone.

I am here and every where

I have registered my name

and place with my accountant

the unseen and the untouched,

He keeps my account,

If ever you wish to

know about me just ask Him.
