Every Cloud Has a Silver Lining

When the reality is grey

And there seems no way

Hope and courage they say

Make the fear blow away

Every cloud has a silver lining

It is evident from the following

Smiling trees, and clear sky

Flight of pigeons soaring high

Flowing of fresh water

Now a days in every river

Our breathing healthy air

Go on to show the happiness of Nature

For man, the time may be bleak

And the MONSTER on its peak

But the fight must be on 

Till the devil is gone

Let the devil know 

The world is in full flow

To fight it out 

Till the devil is down and out

The damage is great

Seeing the number of the deceased

So what ! Let the fight go on

With the awareness increased

Washing your hands 

And covering your face

Are some weapons

To fight the menace

And stay home, stay alive

The only mantra world-wide!

The Ideal Man

I'd draw a figure of an ideal man

In my imaginary world

Imagining, drawing and erasing

Time and again - to fiind out

How the figure - the ideal man - should be like

Finally, the perfectly drawn figure told the following...

That he must be someone

So emotional, yet so srong

So strong, yet so sensitive

So sensitive, yet so dominating

So dominating, yet so friendly

So friendly, yet so strict

So strict, yet so flexible

So flexible, yet so disciplined

Loving, caring and kind-hearted

Calm, composed and level-headed

Intelligent, aware and broad-minded

Honest, sincere and dedicated

Agile, energetic and foresighted

He must be

Well, I always wonder 

If I'd ever find the man of my figure?

True Lessions for Life

You've only one life to live

Live with pride and dignity

Have a heart full of mercy, compassion

And magnanimity

Instil in yourself patience, endurance

And integrity

Rid yourself from narrow mentality

Never let the highs sway your character

And bring you depravity

So should the lows never shake you 

And bring you vulnerability

Respect every individual and be kind

Acquire moral courage and strength

Like a mother shielding her child at length

Build a character which is emphatic 

And mild

Always carry self-respect

And a mother's instinct

It makes you keep your head high 

And be distinct

Adorn yourself with the qualities

Of humility, humanity, honesty and simplicity

Stand up like a pillar for the truth and morality

REMEMBER! You've only ONE life to live

Live with pride and dignity

Advance on the path of your goal

Without caring to be criticised or appreciated

Never give up however much

It may take courage and endurance

He is a true human being

Who never hurts a single being

And the one who could equip oneself with the above qualities

Became respectable, adorable

And unforgettable, forever!
