Mommy's Poem

Happiness

Happiness is a journey not a destination,
To be happy is friends, our very own decision.
Some can have everything, but not be happy,
Some can have nothing, but still can be peppy.

Some have it all, but still be greedy,
Some lose It all, and yet not be needy.
What we have today, we may lose tomorrow,
We’ll remember it with fondness, and a little sorrow.

So let us live it up, every little moment,
Cos life is after all, nothing but these moments,
Your glass may be half empty, but lower half is full
Any way you may look at it, life is beautiful.

Keep your palm open, and happiness will stay,
Close your hand around it,will slowly slip away.

The castles on the beach, may look beautiful and dainty,
They cannot stand the onslaught of the waves of the ocean,
But the home that you build with love and gentle care,
Your happiness lies there, that is your destination.


Mom wrote this poem a few days back. I think its pretty nice n inspiring so thought I should put it up.

    mridu

    mon dieu
    pls pls pls
    open my blog
    i havent got any visitors nor comments from a very very long time, save you.
    mera blog suna para hai, shayad tumhare hi intezaar mein.
    kabhi hamari gali bhi aao.
    life is waiting and so is my blog.
    (perhaps an overstatement but expressive of expression, true expression.)
