Life Happens to You

LIFE happens to you!

This is a story of not so long ago

When I wasn’t so smart, but thought I was so

One day I sat down with paper and pen

To chart out my future from now to then

I listed out all the things I wanted to do

Smiled as I imagined myself doing s few

Charted out my future in great detail

Smugly thinking to myself “Now I can’t fail”

Prepared I was, for life on paper

Unprepared I was, for life’s capers

Because I honestly didn’t have a clue

That while you are busy making plans, LIFE happens to you!

All my plans went for a toss

For I had forgotten God was the boss

Life happened to me while I wasn’t looking

I never realized what God had for me cooking

So many surprises he had for me in store

Much more than I wanted, and then some more!

So this, is my story, Ladies and Gentlemen

This is me now, very different from how I was then

I do my work down here; leave the rest to the Big Man

Enjoy sweetness

Once a man was very surprised to see a row of ants going past a lump of sugar; since the ants are very fond of sugar, it was indeed very surprising that the ants were not stopping by the lump of sugar to eat it! To find the reason for the same, all the ants were picked up and their mouths opened; it was found that their mouths were full of garbage, as a result they could not taste sugar. Similarly the feelings of pride and hatred keep man deprived of the sweetness one gets from devotion. That is why a noble soul always remains keen to keep the dirt away from the mouth of his mind and always remains a buyer of sweetness. He also distributes the same sweetness further to others.

Would You ???



I dont ask you the silver of the moon,

or the diamonds brilliant shine......

I wish for no colorful flowers,

or ask you for wonderful towers.....

Dont even weep for my sorrows,

or promise me of better tomorrows....

I dont demand for your time,

or expect you to take my blame.....

I ask you of no compromises,

or any great sacrifices.......

I dont want you to share my pains,

or move the big mountains.....

When i am fragile and aged,

charmless and wrinkled,

would you,

would you still look into my eyes,

and

whisper the magic of the

i love you

and

still............

mean it.....

would you???

would you????....
