Life is like riding a bicycle,
Unless it freezes like the ‘Icicles’
When you were born you were free,
Now it is time to scale up like a ‘Christmas tree’

In the market parents were flocking,
To add their goodies in a ‘Stocking’
Children are anxious but they have to pause,
And leave the surprise with ‘Santa Claus’

When in anger do not yell,
Only listen to the sound of the ‘Bell’
Advent is the time to let go of foes,
And let your life grow like a ‘Mistletoe’

Do not let your worries weigh,
Let it ride away with the ‘Reindeer and Sleigh’
It is better to forgive and be part of the clan,
Unless you want to remain frosty like the ‘Snowman’

Do not allow your dreams to bequeath,
Just remember and pin them on the ‘wreath’
Aim high, Aim far,
Aim for the sky and you will reach the ‘Star’
In today's changing world where there is so much of anger and anxiety, it is the Christmas season which is a turnaround time. My poem is on rediscovering the Christmas Symbols in relevance to the changing times. I hope and pray that my poem inspires people to let go of their past and head into the new year with renewed passion to achieve their life goals.

Titles of James Bond 007

On a weekend when you want to have fun,
It’s worth seeing “The Man with the Golden Gun”
You need to let the little things that would ordinarily bore you to suddenly thrill,
But those little things must never mean the “Licence to ****”

When we think of world peace, we think of a dove,
The place must originate from “From Russia with Love”
Countries must not separate each other by building a wall,
Since nature maintains its balance with the “Skyfall”  

On snow-capped mountains, soldiers slip and fall,
Their minds are illusioned with the image of a “Thunderball”
However they always find a way to resurface,
Since they are “On Her Majesty's Secret Service”

While dating if you find no takers,
Then it is time to sail on the “Moonraker”
Suddenly in your life when you find she,
You will refer to her as “The Spy Who Loved Me”

Trekking means a travelling experience with a thrill
When you reach the top of the mountains it is like a “A View to a ****”
When on a holiday we are told to be loyal,
However one always ends up at “Casino Royale”

Even if people think you are not wise,
It’s fine, since at the end of the day “You Only Live Twice”
When in trouble do not lie,
It is better to “Live and Let Die”

In your career when you are in your twilight,
Join an NGO and erase “The Living Daylights”
When you need to move on, but memories tend to linger,
It is better to switch and go for the “Goldfinger”

If you are under scrutiny and meet the tax collector,
Pay your dues before he becomes a “Spectre”
When the time comes to claim a share of the pie,
You are always ahead as “Tomorrow Never Dies”

Sickness is time we regret and say Oh,
However our minds resound with “Dr. No”
If you are feeling down and lonely,
Watch the movie which is “For Your Eyes Only”

When you lose a loved one and are clueless,
Then time will heal like a “Quantum of Solace”
Being busy at work as time fades by,
You will realise there is “No Time to Die”

Achieving all life ambitions may be tough,
And soon you realise “The World Is Not Enough”
In life, we are taught to aim for the sky,
For that we require the “Golden Eye”

When we face losses we think no way,
But we all forget we have to “Die Another Day”
On reaching close to the target we feel it’s now or never,
Trying again is essential since “Diamonds Are Forever”
The movies of James Bond live in our memories even till today. There are a number of life lessons to be learnt from James Bond.The poem is based on the the fictional legend James Bond Movie series.
