His wife stood and wept silent tears
While family was distraught because they care
But wait is that all who are really there
Followed by ten thousand on twitter
Where have all these people frittered
Facebook friends I have in plenty
Then why is my funeral so empty
How I wish I could have spend time with my loved ones
Than entangling myself in social web I spun
You can feel her innocence as a daughter
You can see her love as a mother
As a sister you can enjoy her care
Fight as she might she will always share
You can feel her passion as a lover
Make her a wife and get her devotion for ever
As a grandmother she showers her blessings on you
In all the roles she plays in your life she breezes through
But as tender and loving as she might seem she is tough
She doesn’t give up easily when life gets rough
Don’t judge her beauty by how good she looks
Or expect her to lead her life by some rule book
Her beauty lies in her inner strength
Her ability to love deeply and be intense
Some think we want lots of money
Or a dream man to call us honey
Many think we want to look good
Maintain our weight while eating good food
Most think shopping is what excites us
Unlimited credit is definitely a plus
Most think we belong inside the house
Following instructions and being quite as a mouse
“What women want?” is a difficult questions
Men all over the world are still trying to find an answer
Don’t ponder don’t stress
We want freedom nothing more nothing less
Freedom to dream freedom to live
Freedom to choose what we believe
Nurture us, cherish us and let us be
Don’t chain us but set us free
He looks down on the world below
With twinkling eyes & cheeks that glow
He nurtures life & propels growth
With his tender love & warmth
Sun O Sun he is the king of bright blue skies
Key to our existence in your hand lies
He showers his light & warmth on everyone
Wishes prosperity for all without discrimination
His bright & vibrant face starts our day
Birds chirping & lush green trees makes my heart gay
Sun O Sun he is the king of bright blue skies
Key to our existence in your hand lies
At night when the darkness creeps
In the blanket of clouds he goes to sleep
Next morning he comes out to play
Ushering a bright & cheerful new day
Life is a strange combination of joy and sorrow
No one knows what might happen tomorrow
Life is a mixture of good and bad
Sometimes happy and sometimes sad
Devastation of slum with small & crammed houses
The glory and pride of a rising skyscraper
Glamour of lavish parties & festivities unending
Shabbiness & despair of a street beggar
Happiness of a new born child
Death of a child driving the mother wild
The gleeful laughter of a newly wed bride
White saree of a widow her misery flowing through her sad eyes
Life is full of such stark contrasts
Teaching us to savour happy moments while they last
Nothing in life will last forever
We can’t take anything for granted ever
Good times don’t wait bad times we can’t prevent
Life is a series of such hot & sweet moments
Mothers, daughters and some are wives
All leading different lives
Some could be short some are tall
Some are large and some are small
Straight hair for some others with curls
Beautiful smiles and skirts that swirls
But don’t judge her for only her looks
Or adore her just for her ability to cook
Don’t think she is frail &weak
Don’t be misled by tears which roll down her cheeks
Soft as she might be she has inner strength
Problems and issues she doesn’t easily relent
Treat her well and she will always be there
Because her heart is meant to love and care
When she falters and falls lend her your hand
Promise her that by her side you will stand
But don’t judge her for only her looks
Or adore her just for her ability to cook
She is a mother, a daughter and a wife
Cherish her and she will be joy for life
Single act of kindness can go a long way
A small smile from you make someone’s day
In our busy lives we all forget to give
Forget that nicety & goodness are reasons for which we live
We hurt each other with our words and deeds
We often do things with which our ego feeds
Single act of kindness can go a long way
A small smile from you make someone’s day
Kindness is felt even by deaf and blind
It’s this kindness that makes human race bind
A kind deed done definitely comes back to you
Let’s start being kind and goodness accrue
Single act of kindness can go a long way
A small smile from you make someone’s day
Wonder why when I step on weighing scale
Numbers always tell a sorry tale
Every night I make a resolution
From whale to mermaid start the evolution
But as the morning sun rises in sky
Thought of lifting myself from the bed makes me cry
Forget exercise focus on food
But why do unhealthy things taste so good
Never mind there is always tomorrow
Today let me eat a cookie and drown my sorrow
Wonder why when I step in weighing scale
Numbers always tell a sorry tale
When I was born and was still tiny and wee
My mother felt she saw a “doctor” in me
I was still not out quite out of my diapers
But aspirations my mom had could not be tampered
My father had some other plans in his mind though
In my hand swings he saw moves of “tennis pro”
But since to everyone’s eyes I was as cute as kitten
My granny thought I could be a “star” with whom everyone was smitten
My sister thought I could break into a song & sing in glee
But a little problem was I was really couldn’t find the right key
My my I was still barely out of my baby crib
And the family had decided what I would be when I was big
Wonder if anyone will ask me what I want to be
Flying in the sky as a bird wild and free
When my life was crumbling all over
I called you to help me in my prayers
I kept calling you again and again
But neither did you come nor did you lessen my pain
My misery seemed to never end
Problems in my life never seemed to relent
I frantically started to search for you
I went to temples, churches and mosques too
I went and prayed everywhere
Hoping that you hear my prayers
My search for became quite frantic
Chants, hymns, offerings I tried every antic
Now I started to wonder if you were really there
If you existed did you really care
Lost and defeated I gave up my search
I did not find you in mosques, temples or church
I gathered my strength and decided to fight
Stand strong for what I thought was right
That’s when I instantly knew
That’s when inside me I found you.
Magic within Me!!
