267. Conspicuous


 Conspicuous - (attracting notice or attention )


My home keys taught me lessons

the story below carries their essence.


A page from my diary, a month ago,

on an auspicious day


when the key story became conspicuous:


“Diwali day, no holiday from work.

I am reaching home late, missing the firework.

My regret: the home key sits in my backpack,

my spouse waiting till I come back.


I am angry with myself and feeling to cry 

no matter how much I try,

some things slip.

Next time we should keep separate keys to avoid this flip"

In spite of this, we missed the home keys again in our hometown.

They were right in front of us, but we didn’t notice them on time.

We had to do a whole circus,

make new keys, and here it’s an expensive mess.

This time I made sure to keep one with me and one with him,

to avoid the repeated pattern untreated in bin

Checking the keys beforehand is such simple common sense.

From this conspicuous story, here is my take:

God gave me a chance to rectify my first mistake,

As I didn’t act on it, I had to face a costly lesson, premium treated.

In God’s school, in the same class till I pass, the exams are repeated!!!
