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.

A Small Town girl

As I look in the mirror,What do I see???/// The lil town girl still lives on in me… // Starry eyed & Over awed by all that is around, Life n Strife happens but hopes still not drowned. /// I wake up each day , fresh & bright eyed, No matter what life offers, The will to smile still hasn’t died. /// I hold my head high, Each day a new prayer, Hoping for a new sunshine, would today be my saviour? /// No matter what,I thank the lil town girl in me, For she gives me hope & just lets me be.

Missing you

Longing for your arms To hold me tight I wait each moment Every day and night. /// Would you turn about Come back for me? /// My heart weeps for you Would you ever see? /// The days seem so long The nights so lonely, /// Your feelings for me Still linger on, surely For what we shared /// Both me and you Could never have been Anything less than true. /// Hope makes me live on Still longing for you Love pushes me along Hoping tomorrow is new ./// Come back to me again And be my love We could start afresh Please come back now!!!

Khwabon ka diya jalake

Khwabonka diya jalaake aap toh so gaye mere hosh udhaakar aap neend mein kho gaye jayein toh kahan jaayein hum Is paagal dil ko leke Har rooh mein sama gaye ho tum Mujhe deewani banake chal diye.

Breeze

In my ears your whispers
echo
A gentle breeze of harmony
Each word so full of
tenderness
Wrapped in gentle rhapsody. We travel in different paths of life
Gathering memories on the
way
Sharing their sweet fragrance
Reliving them on some days . The gentle pitter patter of the rain
Some warm thoughts on my mind
Each drop of rain on my face
Every memory a different kind.
The winds blowing through
the trees
I stop and listen to what it
says
In them I hear your loving voice
Asking me to bask in the
Sun’s rays .
Through the whispers of the wind
And the stars that I gaze in the sky
I sense your presence always with me
A feeling I carry with me till I die.
