Life seen through two Windows of Difference
"I think life is a matter of choices and that wherever we are, good or bad, is because of choices we make." ~ Lou Holtz
There is no time to stand and stare
There is no time to stand and stare
hold fast of your time, it is
elapsing.
Time is life and life is uncertain,
it is useless wasting this very
moment
for the very next moment is unseen
and
unknown.
Life comes once to us at this
time,
not in dreams, not in sleep but in
reality to feel.
It’s your life god gave to you for
experience
and it is your eyes to see the windows of life,
and it is your eyes to see the windows of life,
Life was pleasurable travelling the
gloomy
path,
I neglected my parent’s wishes of
school
and neighbors’ desires of
greatness.
I never gave my heart to
speak.
My clouded companies made my hands
for
fight
and legs for running away from my
own
misdeeds.
They guided me to the prison as a
guest
which made our empty stomachs to
churn for
days.
I drank alcohols, ate drugs and
chewed tobaccos
I told untruth, stole belongings and
mistreated animals.
Arrogance covered me as wool does
the
sheep,
the sheep that grazed on the land of
ignorance,
eternally.
My companies appreciated me and I
never did to my
parents,
Sometimes, night became day and day
became night for
me.
Despite the change my heart never
felt the
pain,
the pain that was untold, unbearable
and
unnoticed.
Parents said that I must be
disconnected and
separated;
Neighbors whispered that I must do
something
high
but I turned blind to one and deaf
to
another.
The time passed swiftly and my life
gradually
fell.
Now I have reached this stage; a
stage of regret.
I am regretting a lot for abusing my
life,
which takes me to the depth of
gloomy
path.
Returning from the traveled path
with burden,
it’s hard to carry the burden of my
misdeeds.
None is helping me apart from this
forlorn soul of mine.
There is no ticket for me for
heaven
but can hear the call of my reserved
ticket for
hell.
Reaching near the end of rocky
earth,
it’s too late to visit my past and
mend it.
Life was meaningful travelling the unpopular path.
Life was meaningful travelling the unpopular path.
I drove my parent’s train of
wishes
and wore neighbor’s chain of
wishes
carefully listened to the beats of
my
heart,
Making every beat, a magnificent
one.
My flowery companies made my hands
for
good
and my legs for stepping on
better,
that combined to yield the best in
me.
They guided me to the land of flying
colors.
I wished courageously, dreamed great
and worked
hard,
I replied the truth, cared all and
sacrificed for others,
Up I prayed to the god and down I
gave my ability
that took me forward, little by
little, nearer and nearer.
Sympathy hit me like shooting
stars,
Empathy became the theme of my story
and benevolence silently walked in
my life.
My friends appreciated me and I did
to my parents.
Every part of my life was helpful
and faithful,
There was no pain but only gain,
Gain of the greatest satisfaction,
Satisfaction that meant a lot to me.
My parents encouraged me selflessly,
and neighbors supported me
zealously.
I saw one’s help and heard another’s
support.
The time passed swiftly and my life
gradually rose.
Now I have reached this stage: a
stage of deed-satisfaction,
I lived interestingly and did
meaningfully.
There is neither a burden nor load
to carry
but am happy that my deeds are
pushing me forward
and I can see the heaven eagerly
waiting for my visit.
Life comes once to us at this time,
not in dreams, not in sleep but in
reality to feel.
It’s your life god gave to you for
experience,
now you have seen the windows of
life,
It’s your own choice to choose,
which suits you,
Gloomy path? Or unpopular path?
Both is going to produce difference
in you
both is going to be your salve –
servant
and both is going to listen to your
choice.
What really counts is your clear
choice of windows.
