Devotion

When  I  fell  in  love  with  you

Unintended   as  in  fables

I  was  on  the  cloud  nine

Experiencing  pure  miracles

Love  has  magic  which  wears off

After  all, dreams  are  but  dreams

So  much  joy  we  accumulate, but

They  do not  come  true, it  seems

I  have  no  more  predilection

My  work  is, now, my  religion

Whatever  I  resolve  to  do

I  do  it  with  full  conviction

What  I  suffer, I  can’t  explain

With  my  hurt  and  bruised  emotion

You, only,  are  in  my  heart, that’s

Full  of  worship  and  devotion

    Devotion to anything, love not excluded, makes one convinced of it, and drives him/her to execute in right earnest- no need to bother even if we meet with negative results, for we’ve given our best for the cause!
