LIFE: PERMIT TO EARTH AND ETERNITY

Life
Is of different strokes and shades
Every day comes in myriad colours
You might miss the best part
If you dwell on the past or future
There in the moment is a blessing
That your reality cannot deny.

Life
Your permit to earth and eternity
A portion of time, for sorrow and laughter
A beautiful blend of tears and joy
A variety of experiences as you choose
There are no extensions when it elapses
You're apportioned to live once, then give account.

Life
Is not short, neither long
What you make of it, is what really counts
A short good life or a long wasteful one
Which would be a gift for generations unborn?
Would your life be a gift to pass on?
Or would it be a ruin to bury off?

Life
Either good or bad
Was meant to serve a purpose for many
Though it is full of troubles
It constantly drips with sweetness
For whosoever seeks the good of others
Serving God and humanity as primary pursuit.

IN THEIR PATH, TREAD ON WITH CARE

Decision, decisions,
How often I return to thee!

Choice, choices,
Why must I bother about thee!

Values, principles,
Must I embrace thee as friends?

Every day gives me a moment with you,
I am free and Liberal with thee
Yet, I'll hurt should I pay no attention
Should I care less of what I do with thee
It is I who will be ashamed
It is I who will be tortured in the arms of regrets
Only I, have I to blame, if I give deaf ears!

Nevertheless!
If I choose to treat with caution and not levity
To give discipline
in the boundaries of the freedom you lavish,
Shall I not rejoice in time of harvest?
When all the seeds I've sown in your rich soil stare in my face?
Shall I not rejoice and be glad, of the sweet wine of a fulfilled life of thy yield?

Decision, I vow to make you my friend
Choice, I call thee my sister
Value, my cherished adornments,
Principle, the maiden that brings me great joy!

May all who have you as crown on their heads
be blessed by the generosity of thy gracious hands.

THINK about TOMORROW!

Think, but not too much
Where you'll be, tomorrow
Nah, not what you think
That's wrong answer, my friend.
Tomorrow isn't a day after tonight,
It's the decisions and choices,
The predominant subconscious mindset,
Tomorrow isn't just a day,
It's the outcome and consequence,
Of how well you have utilised or not...
All the opportunities today has gifted,
Think, of this tiny seeds of thought
Think! Think!
But not too much that you forget
the most important thing,
To act!
For tomorrow can't be left chance!
