Only 2day...

Whatever I may want to do
It must be done today.
There is no other time.

Yesterdays are but todays
Used and gone beyond my grasp.
Not one can ever be brought back;

Even as a bell can’t be unrung
Or a spoken, unintended word
Be readily retrieved before
It reaches someone’s ear

Tomorrows are todays awaiting birth
Each comes unbidden in the night
To arrive full-fledged for me to use
And do whatever I may want to do

Dare to be...

When a new day begins,
dare to smile gratefully.
When there is darkness,
dare to be the first to shine a light.
When there is injustice,
dare to be the first to condemn it.
When something seems difficult,
dare to do it anyway.
When life seems to beat you down,
dare to fight back.
When there seems to be no hope,
dare to find some.
When you’re feeling tired,
dare to keep going.
When times are tough,
dare to be tougher.
When love hurts you,
dare to love again.
When someone is hurting,
dare to help them heal.
When another is lost,
dare to help them find the way.
When a friend falls,
dare to be the first to extend a hand.
When you cross paths with another,
dare to make them smile.
When you feel great,
dare to help someone else feel great too.
When the day has ended,
dare to feel as you’ve done your best.
Dare to be the best you can -
At all times, Dare to be!

the world is following you.....

One day you might see yourself walking alone on a new path.
No one seems in sight.
No one seems to have walked it earlier.
Don’t give up midway.
You’re on a right track.
Go on. Reach your dreams.

The reason why you do not see anyone is because
the world is following you.

if i had only ....

if i had only ....
Forgotten future greatness
And looked at the green things and the buildings
And reached out to those around me
And smelled the air
And ignored the forms and the self-styled obligations
And heard the rain on the roof
....and its not too late

if i feel low.....


If I feel depressed I will sing.
If I feel sad I will laugh.
If I feel ill I will double my labour.
If I feel fear I will plunge ahead.
If I feel inferior I will wear new garments.
If I feel uncertain I will raise my voice.
If I feel poverty I will think of wealth to come.
If I feel incompetent I will think of past success.
If I feel insignificant I will remember my goals.
Today I will be the master of my emotions.

reconciliation.......

Defeat me, Would you?
One has to rise from the fire
And have burning eyes for that.
Your eyes are not even embers
Better forget about that.
And let’s talk about reconciliation.

Beliefs won’t shelter you.
You’re not the winnerNor am I.
Disgusting, to fine away
Letting nobody win.
So, When fights take us now where
Let’s talk about reconciliation.

walkin alone in darkness.......

If only it were so simple
to cruise through life smelling roses
but da obstacles blacken da countryside
And v unwittingly crush them beneath our boots
Dreams sustain us through da madness
goals give a finish line to our race
Yet they change with every turn, around every wall
And remain elusive throughout da quest
Mistakes r made n regrets r our luggage
We will drag them with us to slow us down
Luv is bitter yet its da bread dat keeps us
Over n over it fills us up, only to starve us
Da people whom we luv shape our destinies n our strengths
yet leave us cold n alone in da darkness
There r others trying to race to da end
occasionally, we bump into one or two
Da bonds we form help us down da path less lonely
but eventually, we lose each other in da darkness
Alone is not a bad way to b
it clears ur head n focuses u on da journey
Cherish da short intervals during da quest u have with others
but b prepared to walk alone in the darkness!
