A MISSING ELEMENT

When the world seems incomplete,
When life seems dull,
When a single element is missing,
Which makes everything null.

When cent is balanced by uno,
When 'all' is balanced by a 'one',
When a single element is missing,
Absence of which could be made up by none

When salt is missing from food,
When sugar is absent from tea,
When a single element is missing,
That is indispensably ought to be.

When festivals become sour,
When happiness bears a scar,
Because a single element is missing,
As crucial as strings to a guitar.

When entirety becomes patchy,
When whole loses a part,
When a single element is missing,
Forthy everything falls apart.

A single element which enlivens the soul,
A single element which brings solace,
A single element that festoons the life,
A single element which brings smile to face.
