Life & complications

In a world filled with changes each and every day..// I feel I’m being judged for what I do n say.. // I remember back to Barbies and play days at the park..// When I didn’t worry about other people’s remarks..// Now looking in the mirror I see to my surprise..// A completely different person staring in my eyes..// The care free little girl I saw at 4 and 5..// Is now becoming a woman.. Just trying to survive...

I promise to smile Maa

Every time that I smile, Every time that I sigh, I think of your face, And a tear escapes my eye. // You were my world, My inspiration and my heart, But when you left me, I thought I would fall apart. // You were my best friend, My one true 'confidante', And that's not all you were, You were also my mom. // I didn't want to live without you, But you would have wanted me to, And if there's anyone I want to make happy, That anyone is you // I would have given anything to have you back, But I know now that it was meant to be, For you are still watching from up there, And I know you're watching me.// I'll make you proud mom, I'm going to fulfill your wish, You're going to see me and smile, That's a daughter's promise.

Life: What Matters.

Ready or not, someday it will all come to an end. There will be no more sunrises, no minutes, hours or days. All the things you collected, whether treasured or forgotten, will pass to someone else. Your wealth, fame and temporal power will shrivel to irrelevance. It will not matter what you owned or what you were owed. Your grudges, resentments, frustrations, and jealousies will finally disappear. So, too, your hopes, ambitions, plans, and to-do lists will expire. The wins and losses that once seemed so important will fade away. It won’t matter where you came from, or on what side of the tracks you lived, at the end. It won’t matter whether you were beautiful or brilliant — even your gender and skin colour will be irrelevant. So what will matter? How will the value of your days be measured? What will matter is not what you bought, but what you built; not what you got, but what you gave. What will matter is not your success, but your significance. What will matter is not what you learned, but what you taught. What will matter is every act of integrity, compassion, courage or sacrifice that enriched, empowered or encouraged others to emulate your example. What will matter is not your competence, but your character.What will matter is not how many people you knew, but how many will feel a lasting loss when you’re gone. What will matter is not your memories, but the memories that live in those who loved you. What will matter is how long you will be remembered, by whom and for what. .... Just a thought !!!

Inner Voices

A surreal calm , somehow surrounds me, Even as My unattended soul grows weeds, The Madness of the world as I see The pain of many a heart that bleeds.// My spoken words get lost in the wind , For once uttered they are lost anyway, Promises once that were made to remind Like dry leaves one day just blown away. // Chaotic quiet voices then speak aloud, Clambering to make themselves heard.// Thoughts hazy like a monsoon cloud Life's situations seeming so absurd . Struggle I do with the battle in me // To brush these sad thoughts away.. Away melancholy..away with thee, Let the music in my heart just play

Miss you Papa

In tears we saw you sinking, we watched you fad away, Our hearts were almost broken, you fought so hard to stay // But when we saw you sleeping, so peaceful, free from pain, we could not wish you back to suffer that again.// a beatuful life came to a sudden end, he died, as he lived, everyones friend. // he was always thoughtful, loving and kind what a precious memory he left behind. // he left us suddenly, his thoughts unknown but he left us memories we are proud to own, treasure him, Got in your garden of reest, For in our world he was one of the best // In memory of my papa i miss you and wish i had the chance to say goodbye but always remember i love you, and we will meet again one day. *Miss you PAPA*

Treasured Moment

A few treasured moments More precious than Gold, To me far more they meant Than any story told. // I cherish every happiness Every smile shared with you, They are a balm to my loneliness, They chase away my blues.// A tiny thought of you , Is all that it takes To bring smiles a few And give my mind a break. // An inexplicable feeling An euphoric cloud it is , Thoughts however fleeting Giving sadness a miss. // You are a precious one to me Among what I treasure the most, Maybe someday you will see To you my heart will always play host!

Smiles and Butterflies

Smiles n butterflies, flowers n sunshine, A walk on the beach , n your hand in mine// Idyllic it sounds, the wind in my hair Mind at rest, in the world not a care.// Far from reality, my lil idyllic world// So beautiful that for a dream its sold.. // Then comes a tempest that uproots n burns // These idealistic thoughts it just churns// But through all days I just see your smile // Makes my days special , helps trudge the mile.
