None in the world, without love, Can his sanity keep. Without the mother’s love we Would be lost long ago. She’s the one who nurtures us And life’s path does us show. Without the love of the spouse, Life would be truly hell.

I can’t bear it any more, Take away this death dance. I have sinned against You but Give me time to repent. I want to redeem the days, Which I have, in shame, spent.

On some days we get dollars, On others only dimes. In fact life is like a rose, With flowers and the thorns. On some days petals grace us. We get pricked on some morns. I just can’t forget the day When I did miss my flight, Only to learn later that...[Read Full Post] Sun, 18 Mar 2007 16:03:54 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/496007 A FLICKER OF LIGHT: a sonnet As in the darkness I grope and shuttle From one faltering step to another, What do I see there in the dark tunnel? A flicker of light in a far corner. What light is that coming as a godsend In moments of pain and gloom and despair? I struggle towards it across a bend, On my lips an honest and fervent prayer. ...[Read Full Post] Fri, 09 Mar 2007 15:39:12 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/493746 DON’T PANIC Don’t panic, there’s help at hand When you need it the most. He’s with you, but of His help, He does not ever boast. He is just a call away, But you must surrender To Him completely, only Then he would help render. Your pride in your might is what Comes between Him and you.

Some are sullen, some are morose, Some could not be crisper. Some walk too fast, some lag behind, Some stay glued to a spot. Some argue loud, some think silent, Some never have a thought. Some live in past, some in future, But some in the present.

It has been rather too painful. Joy was not in my share. Having walked long on this rough road, Now I feel a bit tired. At sixty five I have no rest, From job though I retired.

I spend all time with computer, The cell and limousine. Too far from nature, I live in A jungle of concrete. My house is air-conditioned, I don’t know cold or heat.

Lakes are frozen, roads are blocked And nothing moves or turns. Not a blade of grass is seen. No insect lurks or crawls. Not a wing flaps in the sky And all life almost stalls.
