I wish

I wish if i could swirl the time to past,
and delete all the shoddy reminiscence, 
Omitting all the rendezvous which hurt later.
Ah I wish and can just wish,
Because I neither have Genie nor Aladdin's lamp. 

If only I could turn back time,
immaculate the errs of the past, 
which tormented me over the years. 
Subtracting all the time when I just daydreamed, 
and added the void with real efforts. 
But Ah! lost time is like the mirage, 
a beautiful dream and the reflection on water, 
That could be just seen, not felt.
 
But suddenly another thought 
came as a beautiful ray of hope
What if really I corrected the past, 
My present wouldn't be as beautiful as now. 
Because beautiful memories post mistakes will be deleted too. 
May be I wouldn't have learnt to walk,
because I had deleted the time I fell and got hurt.
Or would be so careless to learn
as I can correct them anytime 
just like a spoiled brat. 
I might have deleted the memories of climbing up the trees to get a mango, 
and slipping down while doing so. 
And the memories of bonding with my father, 
while learning how to ride a cycle
as i fell down and broke my chin.
And had missed all such fun
I might not be a strong person,
staying under the impression of myself as a delicate doll.
Yes I did shed tears for the errs of past, 
but it was as worth as polishing diamond,
turning from rough to a polished gem. 
I might not get hurt after using a life corrector.
But I wouldn't be the person I am.

My flaws are glorifying part of mine. 
Just like scars on the moon. 
Life is not a sprint but hurdle race because nobody likes a game without challenges.
Where everyone is fighting there own battle. 
And if you can gift someone in life
be a reason behind their gorgeous smile.
