We were watching a cricket match one Sunday evening. The toss was going on, both the Captains eagerly waiting for the result. Watching from home sitting on my sofa, I remember cheering loudly when the team I was supporting won the toss. Looking at me my father smiled and said, “think about it… the same thing you saw and cheered was seen by someone else supporting the other team. And while you are so happy, they must be upset”. Thinking about this, I realised how it applies to so many situations in our life, whether the result is based on luck or decision. And this thought is what I have written this stoem on…
The coin flips and heart says,
“will it be heads or tails?”
Every time one of them wins
The other one fails…
Whether it’s a game of chance
Or it’s a choice you had
With a change in circumstance
Even the good becomes bad
Because after all what matters
Is your point of view
What looks like 6 to me
Might be 9 to you
In this world we live,
There is no right or wrong
There’s only your truth and my truth
And they rarely get along
So the best thing to do
Is to let that coin toss
Sometimes gain a win
Sometimes accept a loss…
