HOPE

A beautiful hope has had its start
Within the blessed corners of my heart
To rise and shine as I never did before
Make an effort to reach the highest score

A goal has been set, a decree made
The darkness of fear is about to fade
All I need is to take a step ahead
To prove everything that I ever said

A renewed faith and I am all set
To strive with fervor, to go and get
Things that are in store for me
Limitless SKY & vigorous SEA

Life like my childhood...

Life like my childhood is sometimes very good……

Life like a nightmare sometimes really scares……

:

:

Life has thrown me in pools of despair

With onslaught of nightmares ready to scare

Life has taken away people I love most

Reminding me ever of the treasures I’ve lost
:

:

Life has also given me reasons to hope

Helped me at times when I couldn’t cope

Life has given me reasons to smile

And made things appear more worthwhile

Life like my childhood is sometimes very good……

Life like a nightmare sometimes really scares……

A pair grows faster than an individual...

My buddy remembered me today after a long time (at least it felt like that to me :)) … he was referring to the book “Who moved my cheese” (I guess he liked this book because of the same reason that I did - simplicity with which it conveyed few key messages).

As he recalled the characters of Sniff and Scurry, his thought was really profound (some times he does think :) ). He said "It’s always a pair that grows faster than an individual."

And then he said some thing really sweet, that my name was the first that stuck his mind on this thought and that he feels lost because he experiences being alone. And because it will be difficult for two of us to get lost at same time.

TRUE. I could relate to him… very much so… But at the same time some thing came to my mind as a response to his feeling alone… here’s what I said to him…

If you experience being alone or lost today
Stop for a moment & look your buddy’s way
Besides we being a support for the other
We are also meant to mirror & reflect each other
Maybe when you were feeling alone and blue
Your buddy needed you more than she told you
So one way to bring yourself on the right trail
Is to make sure your buddy does not fail

As I kept writing, I felt it to be true not just for him but me too… and not just in this situation but so many other situations as well… times when I have felt lonely and down in life… times when I felt the void because some one was not present when I thought s/he should be there.

Sounds familiar?? I am sure all of us go through the same…

But if only we could look the other person’s way during such times, we may be amazed to know that s/he is waiting for us too… needing us… wanting for us to reach out and support… listen to the unsaid… and offer the unasked…

…if only we choose to move beyond our own selves…

Difficult? Maybe…

Simple? For sure (I am having fun trying it on :) )

You too can try on… and we can compare notes then :) :) :)
