My Foster Son

I watch him sing
I watch him play
I listen to him
And watch him say

Him and I play
A very cute game
Even after many days
The game remains the same

Its fun to watch him grow
While I always wonder
That he learns life by himself
With mistakes, error & blunder

He is my angel
A naughty little figure
Filled with action, laughter, joy
Enthusiasm, curiosity & vigor

He would walk, he would run, he would fall
He would fail, he would trail, he would bleed
But he gives me a lesson each day
That I must try & try until I succeed…

Snapshot

Yes, I miss the chats
On the college stairs
Before the exams, with my friends
Discussing how to prepare

Yes, I still love – falling in love
Or perhaps, rising
I cherish those romantic moments
The memorable dates with my ‘Charm’ enticing

Yes, I helped – all those
Who looked at me & hoped
Pulled them from the pit of sorrow
Where they dropped

I lived my entire life
Again in flash-back
And then proceeded with comfort, satisfaction & composure
On the destiny’s track

In the Jungle....

Greeny leafy jungle
Only starks and bushes to surround
It’s the silence of nature
No human traces are found

A free world, a quite place to live
for the habitant creatures
Nobody is mean or selfish
There are no negative features

I live, You live…
is the rule, they follow
I offer you the smiles, I have
and you give me all your sorrows

Singing birds and roaring lions
the smell and sound’s so pure
Sometime in this natural world
will give you solace, for sure

The chirping sparrows & hissing snakes
the cuckooing birds & noisy mules
God loves his creatures of the Jungle
Cos they still follow His rules…..

Its My Life

Yes, I miss the chats
On the college stairs
Before the exams, with my friends
Discussing how to prepare

Yes, I still love – falling in love
Or perhaps, rising
I cherish those romantic moments
The memorable dates with my ‘Charm’ enticing

Yes, I helped – all those
Who looked at me & hoped
Pulled them from the pit of sorrow
Where they dropped

I lived my entire life
Again in flash-back
And then proceeded with comfort, satisfaction & composure
On the destiny’s track

Never Say Die

Those who say "Not Possible" - Lie,

For Hope can never die,

Those who try, try & try,

Don't always need wings to fly

They walk upto the storms,

With the tool of 'Faith',

They believe in "No Tomorrow" to wait,

So, Get up and run, My Dear

What are you thinking,

With every beat of the heart,

The precious time is Fleeting.

Song of Life

Its a hard time in life and for so long
There's no rhyme in it or a song
Nothing goes the way, you want to be
Is there a hope tomorrow that you can see?

If you find no way
to go from here
Just look around,
you'll find me there

Time will not be so rough forever
and we can climb up these rocks, together
When the time is tough, it brings good, for sure
We must bear the pain for the wounds to cure

All we need is,
'Faith' in our deeds
Flowers do blossom
if you've planted the seeds

Today or tomorrow.......
Its a matter of time
till then..., sing your own song
and make your own rhyme

My Pending Prayer

One Morning when I was doing my prayers

GOD came alive and asked me

"Oh! My child! I am happy with you,

Tell me what shall I give to you to make you happy"

My mind started churning, He was giving me a ‘wishlist’

My heart started blowing, He was giving me a ‘dreamlist’

Then my soul cautioned me, this day comes only once

Let me ask something, which can make all of us happy

And I thought again

And folded my hands

And said to GOD

"Oh! My merciful Lord! Oh! My Father!

Please remove history from our earth

Let there be only geography

Coz YOU have given all of us a very sharp memory

And we do not forget the past

Have wars in our present and destroy our future"

GOD is still with me

And I am still with hopes

Earth for me...

If you reach the horizen

where sky and earth are meeting

And you have to choose your way

to go up to the sky...

or come back to earth...

What would you do then???

If it was me.........

...then I will come back

so that I can make a better tomorrow

The Earth, a better place to live

and more beautiful than the sky

spread around with Love and Care

Because..................here on earth

live.....the People whom I love

My Best Friend

HE MET ME LIKE A FRIEND, WHO CAME TO STAY FOREVER
MY LIFE WILL LEAVE ME ONE DAY, BUT HE CAN LEAVE ME NEVER

HE BROUGHT ME JOY AND LAUGHTER, AND ALSO FUN AND PLAY
HE WISHES TO SEE ME HAPPY, NO MATTER COME WHAT MAY

HE MAKES THE FUNNY FACES TO ALWAYS GET ME SMILES
HE NEVER SAYS “I AM TIRED”, WHEN HE WALKS WITH ME FOR MILES

IF I GET ANY PROBLEM, FROM ANYWHERE ANY TIME
HE ONLY TELLS ME ONE THING “HONEY IT’LL BE FINE”

HE HAS A MAGIC POWER, TO CHANGE THE WORLD FOR GOOD
AND SKILL FOR UNDERSTANDING AND FOR BEING UNDERSTOOD

WHEN ITS COMPLEX FOR EVERYONE, FOR HIM ITS ALWAYS EASY
TOUGH TIMES ARE SO VOILENT OTHERWISE, IN FRONT OF HIM ITS DIZZY

WORLD LOOKS SUCH A WONDERFUL PLACE, IF YOU FEEL HE IS WITH YOU
NOTHING LOOKS IMPOSSIBLE, ALL YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE

O’GOD! MAKE SUCH ANGELS, ONE FOR EVERYONE
LET EVERYONE GET ECSTACY, HAPPINESS, JOY AND FUN

I THANKS YOU FOR YOUR BLESSINGS WHICH CAME TO ME IN HIM
I THANK YOU FOR THE LOVE THAT YOU SEND TO ME WITH HIM

What we want........

I would always wonder,
Who is he, who does blunder
You need me, I need you
You say “Would you…..” and I say “I do”
What we all need, is not at all short
Still we have fights always, of some sort
I don’t like you, you have me to hate
My plate is full, yet I see more in your plate
We would hate today and tomorrow
We have become lonely in our happiness and sorrow
When we were young, we had friends
They have all vanished with the changing trends
Yet we feel good that we have more wealth
No matter if we don’t have good health
But to gaze the stars, you need no money
In your difficult times, you need friends, Honey!
Sometimes, I think what do we need?
Is it for my hunger or merely a greed?
For what makes me happy, comes very cheap….
Let me think it over, let me think it deep……………

Mumbai 7/11

Last night, I woke up again
in the middle of a dream,
where I was in the crowd
seeing them run, cry and scream

Yet another attack on innocent people
who don't even know,
whose game it is, whose war on whom
whose terror and whose show

They worked hard with sweat
for the whole long day,
Reaching back to Sweet Homes
without a minute of delay

Somewhere someone had been waiting
whole day long, for them
None of them had any idea that
their loved ones will never be seen again

One by one they blew up & apart
in the storm of fire,
It burnt them all alive, leaving scars on those who lived
Can terror be someone's desire???

Blessed or Not ???

When I looked at rich and famous
"He is Blessed" said me
He has all the money and success
Has the life like a bird who’s free

He gets what he likes
For nothing, he has to worry
He lives life kingsize
Has no pain and sorrow to bury

Me always working harder
To make my wish come true
I think me getting closer
But then my wish comes blue

I dipped into hopelessness
And then I saw this dream
Hundreds of children out there
I saw them cry and scream

They had no food for ages
Hence were crying in pain
But was there anyone listening
Or all this was in vein

Then I saw the people
Shivering out in cold & snow
Dying to death in winters
Helpless, had no where to go

Next I saw, were people
Very old and weak
Abandoned by their own blood
They have a tomorrow that’s bleak

I saw this little girl
Dying out of cancer
To the God of Death
Offering her life in surrender

I woke up with the heart
That’s rocking like a quake
I was Intrigued, shocked, puzzled, pained
For the moment’s sake

And then reminding me of what
I haveIt was my own true soul
Asking me to see ‘Half Full’
And not the ‘Half Empty’ bowl

It tells me "Oh Woman"
You have two arms, two eyes
A fit body and two ears
Education, Loving family, house to live
Food to eat and clothes to wear

And that was the morning
I feel as Blessed as most
My dream’s just made me humble
Complaints, comparison, condemn
Is all forever lost

Thank God !!

It was a dry garden,
Then I wished if it was colorful..
Then grew all roses and tulips

But I crossed over,
Being busy with my worries,
When it was raining for days and days,
And cloudy and misty and windy,
I wished if there was sunshine..

Next day, it was warm and bright,
But I was rushing for my destination,
I wished if I had more money
And I got huge treasures

But I forgot my promise of Charity
And spent some here and some there
All I need NOW is NOT...

My wish to come true
But, an Angel to ask me"When will you thanks The Almighty"

Monsoon

When the monsoons come
And the clouds thunder
I slip into the nature
And always wonder
How big is their container
So much water they accumulate
When the monsoons arrive
They start pouring it on the earthy plate
I wonder to do this job
How many people they would need
But whatsoever, when it rains
New life comes to the entire living breed
On the first day of monsoon
When the sky hides and it showers

Do I Really Know Myself?

Am I scared myself?
Then how can I support others?
Do I have happiness?
Then what will I share with others?
I have sorrows!!!
Where do I hide them, my loved ones are coming here!
I am limping!!!
Can I hold someone’s hand?
My voice is sour!!!
Will I get a sweet word?
His hands are empty!!
But I want mine to be full!!
My heart is filled with animosity
But I need Love!
OH, MY LORD!
Let me correct myself immediately
Before finding faults in others!

FAITH

On the straight roads, we walk and never fall
We do not like hurdles or stoppers - big or small

To reach our home, we must walk through
Have faith in our road-map, and in whatever we do

There is someone up there, who shows us the light
Whenever we can’t see through, He makes our way bright

Where we have to go, it’s HIM who knows
All we have to do is, follow the path HE shows

Just keep walking even if its through hell
And after a while, you will hear the ringing of heavenly bell

The faith in HIM up there makes the sun shine
It’s nothing else but the test of the time.
