"The appearance of things change according to the emotions, and thus we see magic and beauty in them, while the magic and beauty are really in ourselves."

-Kahlil Gibran- A Lebanese poet and philosopher

Smile

There is a way for happiness to stay

When your smile you throw sadness  away

At each point in a courageous step

The strength of  will power will show a way

Seek not all  for oneself in life

This world  not ours forever 

Only  if we think we have to leave one day

 Like the players who depart after game is over

We come, we sow, we reap and go

And so it is for one and all

 Live  each  day with  hopes held high

Troubles in life come and go

They are not for breaking down

So let us  ride even uneven paths

For this too will soon have to pass

Or it may take a wee bit longer

And when you find oneself in  a place

It is destiny that took you there O! please

Look around , blink and pull up your socks

 Enjoy the stay till you have your way

Like a game of snake and ladder is life

You could  climb up when you are down

There is a method in madness 

Through the challenges of life

Each little brook that flows and flows

Each little bee that works and works

 Garner strength from nature’s bosom

Look  how  it sure bestows

 Silently,slowly forever more

 Trampled and trodden its paths  often

Comes back to life  soon without fear

Seek  her kind ways of refuelling

Nature's resources replenished

Destruction and human wrath

 One great hurdle  to handle for the beings on earth

For the soul of the world to human it belongs

Love her soul

Enlighten  lives

Make life on earth  worthwhile

Take a smile back for a smile
