Playing with a real Baby
Or passing time?
A person
Wanting to pass her time.
Got a toy baby doll …
Played with her, bathed her, dressed her,
Loved her.
And imagined she loved her back.
Doll became means for her to pass time,
Express her love….
Receive love…..
She was called upon to look after a real baby.
Worried about trouble involved
And occupied with toy doll-
She avoided,
Giving reasons.
“My doll needs to be looked after.
She needs me.
How can I leave her?”
Was one of her reasons.
Passing through life, receiving imagined love,
Often wondered about life with real baby……
Missing heavenly secrets of real love
Life could offer,
Often regretting……….
*
Other titles that crossed my mind were
1) Real Baby?
2) Regrets?
3) Missing?
4) Time pass?
Which one you think is more appropriate?? Please suggest.

Yes, many times one is afraid of taking responsibilities and takes easier path - selects Toy Baby over real one.
In the process miss the nectar of life.
Thanks. It has made me think...
Awesome Harshadji, it touches and does talk of life's truth.. I don't know but for title the immediate word that crossed my mind spontaneously was.."Illusion".
Think over...
Yes Rameshji,
"illusion" seems to be very appropriate.
thanks.
I think " Missing? " seems appropriate as that is the feeling one carries though comfortable with toy doll.
And how does one know what is real 'real baby'?
Hi Preml,
I think one knows deep within what is real baby.
Answer is in your heart. You will find it in deep silence.
God bless you.
well said, Harshadji...answers all lie deep inside.. they are always there, only we fail to reach them.. you have just now reminded me of the constant need to keep exploring oneself...
And after having found the answer, which we do find often, are we courageous to follow it or give silly reasons to avoid it?
Thanks Rameshji. It is always a pleasure to interact with u.
Really nice one :)
well written sir...
this thinking was very much unique..
looking forward for your next posts....
regards..
