The Great Writer; Searching for Him - A Poem

PORTRAITS OF HAPPINESS

Life is brief

Grudges deprive us of perfect happiness

Laugh as much as you can

Apologize as much as you should

And let go of what you can’t change

Love deeply and forgive quickly

Have no time for regrets

Life is too short to be full of sadness

You have to take the good with the bad

Smile cheerfully when you are sad

Love what you’ve got

And always remember what you’ve had had

Always forgive as you learn from your mistakes

Because life still goes on…

THERE’S MUSIC IN EVERYTHING WE DO

There's music in the moving cars
There's music on the streets of the world
There's music in our homes

There’s music in everything we do
There’s music everywhere on the globe

Music cleanses the soul

Music purifies human understanding

Music inspires all things

Music lifts the spirit beyond the realm of the universe

Music calms all fears

Music is the medicine of the broken heart

Music is the therapy of the disturbed mind

Music is the universal food of the soul

Music is the sweet melody of the heart

Music is the poetry that soothes all pains

WHAT A WORLD!

When you toil all day

Putting all you have and time

Like a man forever thinking of the world to come

And people frustrate you

When another toils far lesser

Doing nothing but rest all day

Like a man seeing not beyond the day

And people eulogize him

Oh, since the world is not ours to control

Calm we must always be

Working as we walk in whatever direction the world takes us

For love’s sake

Oh, what a world we cannot explain

A world greater than all great sciences

Yet appearing often mysterious

We can’t but remain humble

For love’s sake

IT CAN BE GOTTEN

 

If you desire something with all your heart

If life seems purposeless without it

If happily you can give up everything for it

If all other things are secondary, coming only to help it

If with all your capacity

Accompanied with all tenacity

You pursue it with all sagacity

Happy as you sweat for it in all potentiality

If your love for it makes you sometimes look crazy

If no attraction can distract you from it

If faith in it calms all your fears

If hope in it makes you forget all uncertainties

If all your sweats for it never make you unhappy

If all your life, from the cradle to the grave

You toil for it

If all your time, you devote to it

If all your self, you give to it

If…

Then I believe, you can get it

YOU CAN DO IT

Don’t belittle yourself, weighing yourself in people’s scales

Because you are unique and special in your own way

Don’t leave your dreams deserted, aiming what people think excellent

Because only you really know what’s best for you

You and your Maker

What’s best for you may not be the best for others

But that does not really matter

Whether it looks great or small in the eyes of men

Stick to it

Embrace it

As though without it, your life is worthless

Live your life pursuing what’s best for you

Never wasting your life leafing through the pages of the painful past

Or even the pages of the future yet to come

Don’t be scared that you may sometimes err

Never give up when there’s still life in you

And never be afraid of taking risks

For ‘tis in them that you learn the virtue of courage

Don’t live your life worthless because all around you seems unkind

Love all men like yourself

Life is not a burden

‘Tis a wonderful journey to travel with love

Just know where you are coming from

And know where you are going

Though it may not always be smooth sailing

‘Tis not a do or die affair

‘Tis only a wonderful experience when you see it as wonderful
