Life is beautiful

Life is beautiful

It's god’s gift to you

It is neither a bed of roses

Nor a thorny mattress

Never feel depressed

When you are distressed

Take life as it comes

Do not cry in difficulties

Take them as a challenge

Face them

With determination

Treat fellow beings

With love and affection

Life is wonderful

Life is beautiful

Life is a battle

One has to fight

Never cheat never steal

Help the needy

Serve the humanity

Work hard

To achieve your goal

Never hurt a single soul

Respect the elders

Love the younger

Make lots of friends

And enjoy the life

Let Me Laugh Again

Oh, lord

Hear my prayer

Do not

Snatch the flower

Of laughter

From the plant of

My life

Take my sorrows

Give back my laughter

Pour rain

On the dry earth

Make it wet again

Wash negative thoughts

With the water of positivity

Let the plant of life

Bloom again

I do not ask

For money and pleasure

I pray to you

Give back my courage

Restore my confidence

Leave me with a

Positive attitude

I am tired of

Seeing darkness

All around

Let my life shine

Again

With the light

Of love and affection

Oh, lord

Shower your blessings

On me

Let me laugh again

Guilt Complex

He was my closest friend

From childhood

Shared good and bad time

Together

Always wanted me

To reach greater heights

Started disapproving

The ways and means

I used to fulfill my dreams

My failures created doubts

For him in my mind

Started blaming him

For what I could not achieve

Held him responsible

For all my failures

Our friendship fell apart

I had lost someone

Who was my life’s part?

Time passed

I faced defeat after defeat

My progress halted,

Growth retorted

Until I realized

I was not doing the right

Remembered

What my lost friend

Had advised

Unwillingly did,

What he had suggested

Changed 

My ways and means

Started tasting

Success after success

My dreams were fulfilled

But kept suffering

From the crime

I had committed

I had doubted

My friend’s integrity

Never cared for his

Love and sincerity

The guilt complex

Never allowed me 

To live happily

I had lost courage 

To face him

For my wrong doings

Tears keep coming 

To the eyes

I feel all my achievements

Are tainted and farce

How to win him back ?

Is now my goal

Unfulfilled desire

He had greyed

Wrinkles on the face

Spectacles on the eyes

He saw her with probing

Eyes

Sitting on a bench in the

Garden

Reading a book near

The hotel

He was staying

He had come to the city

Four decades

After he completed

His studies

If not mistaken

It was she

Who filled his life?

With unfulfilled desire

She had also aged

Glow on the face

Had turned in to gloom

Slowly walked and

Stood in front of her

Seeing the light obstructed

She lifted her face

Her eyes remained

Wide open

She could not believe

It was he

She cleaned her eyes

To confirm

What she thought

Was right

Could not utter a

Single word

Tears started flowing

The man asked

How are you?

How is your family?

She replied

I did not marry

Slowly asked

In an anxious tone

Did you ?

No

I also did not

Was the answer

Tell me

Why you did not?

The woman blushed

Said in a muffled tone

Because

You did not
