The perfect puzzle

My dear sunshine, I realized just now,

Something's not right, somewhere, somehow

Is it the age, the peer pressure or the social websites?
I am probably confused, impatient and stressed
Or may be its all just in my mind..

May be I need to calm down and silently unwind!!

Imperfections I see, both inside me and out,

The world shouts out loud,

"You are not perfect, you are not strong"

But your love to me whispers,

"Trying to be one, is not wrong"

In the kitchen, I try to serve a variety on the plate,

But a little extra sleep, gets me going late!

I end up with my curry or upma tasting salty,

Sometimes its even a slightly burnt roti.

And then The world shouts out loud,

"You are not perfect, you are not strong"

But your love to me whispers,

"Trying to be one, is not wrong"

To break the myth that girls cant drive,
Behind the wheel, I try my hand,

To share your load on the highway, I strive,

I make mistakes, some big  some small and then

The world shouts out loud,

"You are not perfect, you are not strong"

But your love to me whispers,

"Trying to be one, is not wrong"

Am not the girl who can walk the ramp,
But I am the girl who can walk the talk,
Am not the girl  with the perfect pedicure,
But I am the girl who knows her drapes for sure.
Am not the girl who can rock at concerts,
But I am the girl who knows her hymn recitals.
Yet a minor mistake in one and then

The world shouts out loud,

"You are not perfect, you are not strong"

But your love to me whispers,

"Trying to be one, is not wrong"

My life seems to me like a jigsaw puzzle,
I feel so lost as I begin to lose my pieces,
The morning rush, the daily routine, the fancy job -it all tires me out.
Like an injured bird, with tattered wings, I hit the cot!

Unable to cry it out in the night
 nor shout it out loud in broad day light
You cuddle up next to me, to show you care,
Your gentle caress protects me from all night mare!!
I sit back and listen to the silent whispers that have been there all while
Bingo!! within seconds my answers were found lying in a pile!!

Whoever said I lost, I had always won,
Little did I know, the answers were not many but one..
I win!! when you finish your breakfast plate
and text me a msg saying the food was great!!
I win!! when you drive me to the license test
and pat my back with pride when I clear the test!!
I win!! when you admire each of my attire
and shop with me without a crib or a satire!!

I win each time you stealthily catch my eye,
I win each time you give me a naughty smile,
All the puzzle pieces but one now fell in place,
I have almost won, I am not part of the rat-race..

I wake up next morning reborn like a phoenix
I fly up high,I got my puzzle's final piece!!

It was but your love, what else could it be,
To complete my puzzle, my soul and me.
Now let the world shout out loud,
I may not be perfect, I may not be strong,
But I know its true, I am perfect for you!!
