have you ever really...??

ever clothed the aging lady lying by the winter lane?
ever given that half filled pepsi can to the hungry boy at the park,
or bought a pencil for the kid of your watchman, busy learning from the sand..??
have you ever let the helpless cross the busy road..
gave way to the ambulance, while rushing for a meeting,
or let the old or weak have their seat in the bus??

ever saved ur pocket money-ur 'the' asset-to buy mom a radio?
ever surprised parents by reaching a day ahead, back from hostel..??
have you ever held your umbrella for four,
or paid a coin extra to the man serving cane juice on the summer mid-day?
ever let your younger sibling have that extra share of cake,
or made a call to a distant lonely relative just to 'catch up'?

have you ever taught your maid's kid how to add,
ever switched the radio for dad's classics when it was the rare hour of rock??
ever done the dishes long before mom reached home, tired..?
have you ever waited patiently for a friend to catch a tune?
served chilled water to the old man buying paper, dying to make ends meet,
or sacrificed the one-important-appointment to cheer up your beloved??

ever given your blood,
or atleast, your time to listen to what your grandparents want to tell you??
ever planted a kiss on the abandoned cat's head??
ever grew a tree in memory of someone, or just like that!?
have you ever been a hint of music to the deaf,
a shade of rainbow to the blind, or a voice of confidence to the speechless??

ever felt like god??
