Collaboration is the gist

A birthday poem for my daughter

Collaboration is the gist

We are bubbles of existence

With emotions and intelligence

In the breezing times we exist

Collaboration is the gist

Even for a blade of grass to grow

Air, light, water, soil work in toto

For human life to reside in torso

Millions of cells work head to toe

Tweak a little of wishes and desires

To ensure it all works together

If evolution is becoming bigger and better

Collaboration is all about using other's power..

Collaboration means to communicate

Challenge, Be challenged, Give and take

Negotiate, Innovate and even if we break

Let respect and love never be at stake

Challenging other's ideas and thoughts

Is same as asking ourselves, 'why nots'

Realize it's easy to know our blind-spots

Tough to make realize other's faults

Purpose of Challenge is to know it better

Options, limits, what to prefer or deter

Dimensions, perspectives we need to cater

Not possible to unlock each other's fetter

Negotiate where to give in and where not

For our own sake, others and task we got

Finding new paradigms, changing the plot

Discovering solutions hiding in our thought

Not a paradigm of victory or defeat

Not a paradigm of truth or deceit

Not a paradigm of love and hate

Finding the optimal is collaborate

As you progress more into a world of your own

A lot to learn and hone; known and unknown

Neither knowledge nor wealth wins here

It's how we make use of people's power...

Happy Birthday dear..
