Memories

2010-01-02T22:26:00.000+05:30

Those memories, when I was a child,

Are a little sweet and a little wild,

I loved to sing and dance around,

My life was as fun as a merry-go-round.

Everything seemed to me upside down,

And I felt like I was a clown

Fooling and jumping and playing the whole day,

With all the worries shoo-ed away.

My world was like a "FAIRY-TALE"

And I was the fairy queen,

Flying in dreams, around the stars

Life was a beauty, without any bars.

Everything was so much fun,

Without any burden to pull you down,

In the movie of my life, gone is that part,

But those memories are still, safe in my heart.

A Smile

2009-10-11T20:30:00.000+05:30

She smiled at a sorrowful stranger...

The smile seemed to make him feel better...

He remembered past kindnesses of a friend

And wrote him a thank you letter...

The friend was so pleased with the thank you

That he left a large tip after lunch...

The waitress, surprised by the size of the tip,

Bet the whole thing on a hunch....

The next day she picked up her winnings,

And gave part to a man on the street...

The man on the street was grateful;

For two days he'd had nothing to eat...

After he finished his dinner,

He left for his small dingy room...

He didn't know at that moment

That he might be facing his doom...

On the way he picked up a shivering puppy

And took him home to get warm...

The puppy was very grateful

To be in out of the storm...

That night the house caught on fire...

The puppy barked the alarm...

He barked till he woke the whole household

And saved everybody from harm...

One of the boys that he rescued

Grew up to be President...

All this because of a simple smile

That hadn't cost a cent...

Hugs

2009-08-16T20:39:00.000+05:30

There's something in a simple hug
That always warms the heart;
It welcomes us back home
And makes it easier to part.

A hug's a way to share the joy
And sad times we go through,
Or just a way for friends to say
They like you 'cause you're you.

Hugs are meant for anyone
For whom we really care,
From your grandma to your neighbor,
Or a cuddly teddy bear.

A hug is an amazing thing-
It's just the perfect way
To show the love we're feeling
But can't find the words to say.

It's funny how a little hug
Makes everyone feel good;
In every place and language,
It's always understood.

And hugs don't need new equipment,
Special batteries or special parts -
Just open up your arms
And open up your hearts!

Shocked in Heaven

2009-06-07T17:36:00.001+05:30

I was shocked, confused, bewildered

As I entered Heaven's door,

Not by the beauty of it all,

Nor the lights or its decor.

But it was the folks in Heaven

Who made me sputter and gasp--

The thieves, the liars, the sinners,

The alcoholics and the trash.

There stood the kid from seventh grade

Who swiped my lunch money twice!

Next to him was my old neighbour

Who never said anything nice.

The person who I always thought

Was rotting away in hell,

Was sitting pretty on cloud nine,

Looking incredibly well.

I nudged God, 'What's the deal?

I would love to hear Your take.

How'd all these sinners get up here?

God must've made a mistake.

'And why's everyone so quiet,

So somber - give me a clue.'

'Hush, child,' He said, 'they're all in shock.

No one thought they'd be seeing you.'

Mother is she who spends sleepless night to make you sleep

Mother is she who understands you from the very deep

Mother is she who will laugh and cry along with you.

Mother is she who teaches how to drink, eat and how to chew

Mother is she who scolds you for your good

Mother is she who will support you in any mood

Mother is she who accepts you in any situation

Mother is she who motivates you for your every little creation

Mother is she who gives you blessings at every step

Mother is she who is always worried for your fate

Mother is she who can catch you if at any moment you lie

Mother is she who never wants to see her baby cry..

Mother is she who is different from all other

Mother is she who is never comparable to any other

that we need not judge other people

just because of their past misdemeanor

nobody's perfect as the Bible teaches

but everybody deserves second chances....

i created the scenes together with the player

some are sad but most are happy

still no regrets because it's my story....

the law of karma

is sensible and just

you just reap what you sow

whether its good or bad

all the thoughts and the actions

consciously or unconsciously done

will come back to us

like a boomerang

be careful then

of the things you sow

in the inner world

or on the planet earth

for you'll never know

when your karma will come

but you will pay or collect

for what you have done.

(an unforgettable poem from our school days)

What is this life if, full of care,

We have no time to stand and stare.

No time to stand beneath the boughs

And stare as long as sheep or cows.

No time to see, when woods we pass,

Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass.

No time to see, in broad daylight,

Streams full of stars, like skies at night.

No time to turn at Beauty's glance,

And watch her feet, how they can dance.

No time to wait till her mouth can

Enrich that smile her eyes began.

A poor life this if, full of care,

We have no time to stand and stare.

As children bring their broken toys,

with tears for us to mend,

I brought my broken dreams to God,

because He is my friend.

But then instead of leaving Him

in peace to work alone,

I hung around and tried to help,

with ways that were my own.

At last,

I snatched them back again and cried,

"How can you be so slow?"

"My child" He said,

"What could I do?

You never did let go."

Contributed by: Asian Woman (i_asianwoman @ yahoo.com)

I may never see tomorrow

There's no written guarantee

And things that happened yesterday

Belong to history.

I cannot predict the future

I cannot change the past

I have just the present moment

I must treat it as my last.

I must use the moment wisely

For it soon will pass away

And be lost to me forever

As part of yesterday.

I must exercise compassion

Help the fallen to their feet

Be a friend unto the friendless

Make an empty life complete.

The unkind things I do today

May never be undone.

Any friendships that I fail to win

May nevermore be won.

I may not have another chance

On bended knee to pray,

And I thank God with humble heart

For giving me this day.

The Lost Dr Seuss Poem

I love my job, I love the pay!

I love it more and more each day.

I love my boss, she is the best!

I love her boss and all the rest.

I love my office and its location,

I hate to have to go on vacation.

I love my furniture, drab and gray,

And piles of paper that grow each day!

I think my job is really swell,

There's nothing else I love so well.

I love to work among my peers,

I love their leers, and jeers, and sneers.

I love my computer and its software;

I hug it often though it won't care.

I love each program and every file.

I'd love them more if they worked a while.

I'm happy to be here. I am. I am.

I'm the happiest slave of the Firm, I am.

I love this work, I love these chores.

I love the meetings with deadly bores.

I love my job - I'll say it again -

I even love those friendly men.

Those friendly men who've come today,

In clean white coats to take me away!

Never say I love you

If you really don't care.

Never talk about feelings

If they aren't really there.

Never hold my hand

If you are going to break my heart.

Never say you're going to

If you don't really plan to start.

Never look into my eyes

If all you do is lie.

Never say hello

If what you really mean is goodbye.

If you really mean forever

Then say you will try.

Never say forever

Cause forever makes me cry.

Precious days and precious tears.

If there's something to forgive,

Forgive without delay

Maybe you too, were part to blame,

So make it up today.

Be generous - forget the past

Cross of Jesus

2009-02-23T20:27:00.001+05:30

Cross of Jesus, cross of sorrow,
Where the blood of Christ was shed,
Perfect Man on thee did suffer,
Perfect God on thee has bled!

Here the King of all the ages,
Throned in light ere worlds could be,
Robed in mortal flesh is dying,
Crucified by sin for me.

O mysterious condescending!
O abandonment sublime!
Very God Himself is bearing
All the sufferings of time!

Evermore for human failure
By His passion we can plead;
God has born all mortal anguish,
Surely He will know our need.

This—all human thought surpassing—
This is earth's most awful hour,
God has taken mortal weakness!
God has laid aside His Power!

Once the Lord of brilliant seraphs,
Winged with love to do His will,
Now the scorn of all His creatures,
And the aim of every ill.

Up in Heaven, sublimest glory
Circled round Him from the first;
But the earth finds none to serve Him,
None to quench His raging thirst.

Who shall fathom that descending,
From the rainbow circled throne,
Down to earth's most base profaning,
Dying desolate alone.

From the "Holy, Holy, Holy,
We adore Thee, O most High,"
Down to earth's blaspheming voices
And the shout of "Crucify."

Cross of Jesus, cross of sorrow,
Where the blood of Christ was shed,
Perfect Man on thee did suffer,
Perfect God on thee has bled!

for my twin flame to appear

for i know that the universe

has designed one for me to care...

however i was impatient

waiting for that moment

so the universe has no choice then

but to hand me some warnings...

lessons on life's ups and downs

were delivered to my door...

cracked me like nuts,

and whips with so much candour...

well, patience, i have learned

for the duration of the waiting...

gratefulness, is another

though lessons are handed

not in silver platter.

the universe has well-prepared me

gives me pain and glory

before i finally meet

the soul that the universe

has decided for me...

well, the waiting at last is over

now, i have my twin flame

someone i can grow old with

share the momentous moment

and be happy with him, indeed....

show them how much you care

bring them flowers when they can still appreciate

the beauty and fragrance of it

hug them, kiss them while you can still feel

the warmth of their body...

tell them you love them

it's the sweetest words

you can whisper to their ears...

for no amount of crying,

no matter how loud it is

will ever reach their ears

when they are already cold

and lying in their coffin..

redeem the time for it is short, my friend

spend it wisely with the ones you love

so when they are gone,

you can still smile and bid them goodbye

for you know in your heart

that the memories you have

will last for a lifetime

I dreamt I stood in studio

And watched two sculptors there.

The clay they used was a young child's body and mind

And they fashioned it with care.

One was a professional the tools used

Were skills, books, music and art.

The other, a parent, worked with a guiding hand,

And a gentle, loving heart.

Day after day, the professional toiled with touch

That was skillful, sure and well planned.

While the parent labored day by day

And polished and smoothed it with loving hands.

And when at last, their task was done

They were proud of what they wrought.

For the things they had molded into the child

Could neither be sold or bought.

And each agreed they would have failed

If each had worked alone.

For behind the professional stood the community

And behind the parent, the home.

Take twelve whole months.

Clean them thoroughly of all bitterness, hate, and jealousy.

Make them just as fresh and clean as possible.

Now cut each month into 28, 30 or 31 parts,

but don't make up the whole batch at once.

Prepare it one day at a time out of these ingredients:

Mix well into each day one part of faith,

one part of patience, one part of courage,

and one part of work.

Add to each day one part of hope,

faithfulness, generosity, and kindness.

Blend with one part prayer, one part meditation,

and one good deed.

Season the whole with a dash of good spirits,

a sprinkle of fun, a pinch of play,

and a cupful of good humor.

Pour all of this into a vessel of love.

Cook thoroughly over radiant joy,

garnish with a smile,

and serve with quietness, unselfishness,

Beautiful is the 'thank you'

Wrapped with gratitude

Offered to someone

Who goes out of his way,

Sidetracking his own self-

Nay, his very survival,

To help a lame dog

Over the hedge.

Beautiful is he

Though without tomorrow

Enjoys the heat of the moment

Or the cold stare of fate

Without sorrow

Cultivates good feelings

In the teeth of adversity

Notwithstanding in a second

His breath could be taken away.

Beautiful is he who nurses

The victims through the thick of war

Carrying his humanity

Quietly and humbly

In a bloodthirsty world.

TRUSTING GOD

Contributed by: Judith de Leon (judith134484 @ yahoo.com.ph)

i have always been wondering

about the complexity

of human suffering

caused by the emotion...

emotion is but a feeling

but people became a slave of it

that they no longer want to live

when they think they suffered great...

learn to see things

in God's own perspective;

learn to trust the power

of His unlimited grace...

Are you in love with someone?

then do not be afraid to say so

tell the person how you feel

express the love with so much gusto...

doesn't matter if you are a man or a woman

just utter what is boiling inside

who knows? the feeling is reciprocated

if not, nothing is ever wasted...

what truly matter is conveying

the love that you are keeping

for tomorrow may be too late

to tell the one that makes your heart beat...

Author: Alfred Lord Tennyson

God built and launched this year for you;

Upon the bridge you stand;

It's your ship, aye, your own ship,

And you are in command.

Just what the twelve months' trip will do

Rests wholly, solely, friend, with you.

Your logbook kept from day to day

My friend, what will it show?

Have you on your appointed way

Made progress, yes or no?

The log will tell, like guiding star,

The sort of captain that you are.

For weal or woe this year is yours;

Your ship is on life's sea

Your acts, as captain, must decide

Whichever it shall be;

So now in starting on your trip,

Ask God to help you sail your ship.

Being in Love

i never knew falling in love

would bring a smile to me

anticipating the day

i would see the person

who keeps my heart beating so fast

never expected that being in love

is a natural feeling

you can feel for others

when your heart is open

to understand and accept them

no matter what the circumstance maybe

i thank the universe

for making me fall in love

with the beauty around me

with the people i never knew existed

because i am so wrapped up

with my own cocoon

now, i am no longer afraid

to be in love

over and over again

because the feeling of joy

emanating from my soul

can no longer be contained....

New Year's Reality Check

Another year, another chance

To start our lives anew;

This time we'll leap old barriers

To have a real breakthrough.

We'll take one little step

And then we'll take one more,

Our unlimited potential

We'll totally explore.

We'll show off all our talents

Everyone will be inspired;

(Hmmwhile I'm writing this,

I'm getting very tired.)

We'll give up all bad habits;

We'll read and learn a lot,

All our goals will be accomplished,

Sigh...or maybe not.

Oh well, Happy New Year anyway!

Pray, don't find fault with the man that limps

Or stumbles along the road.

Unless you have worn the shoes he wears

Or struggled beneath his load

There may be tacks in his shoes that hurt

Though hidden away from view

Or the burden he bears placed on your back

Might cause you to stumble too

Don't sneer at the man who's down today

Unless you have felt the blow

That caused his fall or felt the shame

That only the fallen know

You may be strong but still the blows

That was his if dealt to you

In the selfsame way, at the selfsame time

Might cause you to stagger too

Don't be too harsh with the man that sins

Or pelt him with word or stone

Unless you are sure - yea, doubly sure -

That you have no sins of your own

For you know, perhaps,

If the tempter's voice should whisper as soft to you

As it did to him when he went astray

It might cause you to falter too

Life, I am the new year.

I am an unspoiled page in your book of time.

I am your next chance at the art of living.

I am your opportunity to practice

what you have learned about life

during the last twelve months.

All that you sought

and didn't find is hidden in me,

waiting for you to search it out

with more determination.

All the good that you tried for

and didn't achieve

is mine to grant

when you have fewer conflicting desires.

All that you dreamed but didn't dare to do,

all that you hoped but did not will,

all the faith that you claimed but did not have -

these slumber lightly,

waiting to be awakened

by the touch of a strong purpose.

I am your opportunity

to renew your allegiance to Him who said,

'behold, I make all things new.'

I am the new year.

Purpose

2008-12-15T16:11:00.001+05:30

Contributed by: Asian Woman (i_asianwoman @ yahoo.com)

We all have some kind of purpose on this earth,
It's not to hurt people or tell them their worth.
Everyone was put here with an equal chance,
Take a look around you, take a good long glance.

Some were meant to heal, and some to teach,
Some are used to build, and some to reach.
You may not know your purpose just yet,
God will tell you, when he knows you are set.

Don't rush your fate, it has already been planned.
And God will always be there to lend a helping hand.
You will go through times that are really rough,
But you will always have someone, when the going gets tough.

Don't judge others, for when you do,
There is always someone else, judging you.
Think about things before they are said,
Say your prayers before going off to bed.

Take time just to sit, and observe all things,
A flower and it's petals, or a bird and it's wings.
For when you just look at what is around,
A new aspect on life could be what you have found.

Live for today, live one day at a time.
Live for yourself, and for God, that's no crime.
For when you do all these things to make your life great,
You will find your own way to the pearly white gate.

Today a daughter and a princess

Tomorrow a mother or a mistress

Up! Up! Up! Women

Stop! Stop! Stop! Women

Perhaps true, perhaps true

Women are amazing creatures

Moulded with dazzling features

Women are an object of mystery

Have their own place in history

Women are great

They make the best dates

Except when they turn up very late

Without women

What will become of us?

No more noises on the bus

No one to make all the fuss

Without women

What will become of men?

Who will teach them,

How to behave and learn?

Women are the spicy ingredient of romance

Women are the juicy parent of importance

Women are a heavenly treasure

The epitome of human pleasure

Up! Up! Up! Women

Stop! Stop! Stop! Women

Perhaps true, perhaps true

Without women

Would this earth have survived?

Without women

Imagine how many will feel deprived

Women are simply delicious

Beware they can be serious

Especially when suspicious

And turn to Mrs Vicious

Women are priceless

Without women

Life will be without spice

Simply lifeless

Dancing With God

2008-12-07T15:20:00.001+05:30

Contributed by: lakshmivenkateswaran @ yahoo.com

When I meditated on the word Guidance,

I kept seeing 'dance' at the end of the word

And I remember reading that doing God's will is a lot like dancing.

When two people try to lead, nothing feels right.

The movement doesn't flow with the music,

And everything is quite uncomfortable and jerky.

When one person realizes that, and lets the other lead,

Both bodies begin to flow with the music.

One gives gentle cues, perhaps with a nudge to the back

Or by pressing Lightly in one direction or another.

It's as if two become one body, moving beautifully.

The dance takes surrender, willingness,

And attentiveness from one person

And gentle guidance and skill from the other.

My eyes drew back to the word Guidance.

When I saw 'G': I thought of God, followed by 'u' and 'i'.

'God, 'u' and 'i' dance.' God, you, and I dance.

As I lowered my head, I became willing to trust

that I would get guidance about my life and once

again, I became willing to let God lead.

My prayer for you today is that God's blessings

And mercies are upon you on this day and everyday.

May you abide in God, as God abides in you.

Dance together with God,

Trusting God to lead and to guide you through each

season of your life.

This prayer is powerful and there is nothing attached.

If God has done anything for you in your life,

Please share this message with someone else.

There is no cost but a lot of rewards; so let's continue

to pray for one another.

nd I Hope You Dance !

Outside my window, a new day I see

And only I can determine

What kind of day it will be.

It can be busy and sunny, laughing and gay,

Or boring and cold, unhappy and gray.

My own state of mind is the determining key,

For I am only the person I let myself be.

I can be thoughtful and do all I can to help.

Or be selfish and think just of myself.

I can enjoy what I do and make it seem fun,

Or gripe and complain and make it

Hard on someone.

I can be patient with those who

May not understand,

Or belittle and hurt them as much as I can.

But I have faith in myself,

And believe what I say,

And I personally intend to make

The best of each day.

If at times you feel you want to cry

And life seems such a trial

Above the clouds there's a bright blue sky

So make your tears a smile.

As you travel on life's way

With its many ups and downs

Remember it's quite true to say

One smile is worth a dozen frowns.

Among the worlds expensive things

A smile is very cheap

And when you give a smile away,

You get one back to keep.

Happiness comes at times to all

But sadness comes unbidden

And sometimes a few tears must fall

Among the laughter hidden.

So when friends have sadness on their face

And troubles round them piled

The world will seem a better place

And all because you smiled.

Forgive myself. I begin to heal.

I shall not use my

Mistakes as excuses to give up on me...

My mistakes are not me.

I shall seek the wisdom to nurture

My heart.. Mind.. Body and soul so that I may feel more

Centered... Providing an energy reserve that

Allows me to climb the mountains in my own life.

And support others who are climbing a different mountain.

My personal power.

I shall make a small difference in this planet...

Through the work I do...

And learn on my journey.

I may never see tomorrow; there's no written guarantee

And things that happened yesterday belong to history.

I cannot predict the future, I cannot change the past,

I have just the present moments, I must treat it as my last.

I must use this moment wisely for it soon will pass away,

and be lost forever, as part of yesterday.

I must exercise compassion, help the fallen to their feet,

Be a friend unto the friendless, make an empty life complete.

The unkind things I do today may never be undone,

And friendships that I fail to win may nevermore be won.

I may not have another chance, on bended knees to pray,

and I thank God with a humble heart for giving me this Day.

Zindagi

Contributed by: Bharathi Natraj (amitgoyal_pau @ yahoo.com)

"Zinda rahe toh phir milenge".

Magar aap se mil ke

Ish dil ne mehasoos kiya hai ki,

"Aapse milte rahe toh Zinda Rahenge".

Yeh raat itni tanha kyun hoti hai,

kismat se apni sabko sikayat kyun hoti hai,

Ajeeb khel khelti hai yeh kismat

Jise hum pah nahi sakte

Tammana se nahi tanhai se darte hain,

pyaar se nahi ruswaai se darte hain,

milne ki to bahut chahat hai,

par milne ke baad judaai se darte hain

Yaad aaye to aankhen band na karna,

hum chale bhi jaaye to gum na karna.

Yeh zaruri nahi ki har rishte ka koi naam ho,

per dosti ka ehsaas kabhi dil se kam na karna.

Pyasi nigaho ne har pal unka deedar maanga,

Jaise amavas ne har raat chand maanga.

Ruth gaya woh Khuda bhi humse,

Jab humne apni har duwa mein unka saath maanga

usi se mohabbat kyun hoti hai.

Yaadain teray khluuse ki dustti hain aaj bhi

Milnay ki aarzooain trastii hain aaj bhi

Ankhain hazaar zabt ki koshish kay bawajood

Ruk ruk kay baar baar barstii hain aaj bhi

Phul ki tarah haste raho to hum khush hai,

Dil kholkar jeete raho to hum khush hai,

yeh nahi kehte ki roj milo,

bas kisi din yaad karliya karo to hum khush haia

A person can make you feel high,

A person can make you feel low.

But only you can decide, which way you want to go.

A person can hurt you mentally,

A person can hurt you physically.

But only you can place, a limit on your abilities.

A person can cause drama,

A person can cause a situation.

But only you can create, your own reputation.

A person can make you laugh,

A person can make you cry.

But only you can make, decisions for your life.

I guess what I'm trying to say,

That when you're living day to day.

Don't live by what people do,

But live by what you know is true.
