Ships that sail in the sea of life
That can help avoid sorrow and strife
Are there to help, when you are adrift
For they are, indeed, Fortune’s gift

Friendship is one
That will never fail
For good friends
Will always rush to bail

Companionship is another
For which you should strive
Because all alone
It’s hard to survive

Hardships will come
Knocking at the door
Partnerships will then
Strengthen you to the core

And if all else fails
The anchor you need
Is worship of the Lord
Who will, in His care, keep

So sail smoothly
Through life’s stormy bays
And let Faith guide you
Through the difficult days

When you leave something for later
It disappears from sight
So do it right now
Before day turns into night

You will daily grow older
But also try to remain wise
The tea/coffee may get cold
But then you can add ice

Life will pass you by
And you will regret a lot
So take my good advice
And strike while the iron is hot

Do not sit and tarry
But act when you have a chance
For if you leave it to fate
She will lead you a merry dance

Later  - you may lose interest
And always crave for rest
So to ensure that life is bright
Act while the time is right

Whatever be the state of your wealth :
These are what will affect your health -
To me they are the ‘Golden three’
That can either bind, or set us free
The first is definitely all our fears
That make us put a brake on the gears;
The second are the tears we shed
That keep flowing till the eyes have bled..
The third – and most important one
Are the years that fly past -one by one
So – this is the Golden trio I feel
That we should face, if we want to heal.

If a storm comes in your life
Ride it..
And Conquer the elements
That threaten to destroy your spirit.
Be brave, be strong
For it won’t pay to cry.
Display your inner steel
However frail you feel
Because
At the end of the day
It’s your life
So you have to yourself decide
What you should or should not do
And keeping fears at bay
How to live each day…
Always remember to be firm and strong
And do not just amble along…
Remember -
You have only one life
So live it the way you want
Do not let others dictate
For misgivings will otherwise haunt.
Be adventurous
Be daring
And fully drain the cup
For it is only yours –
So why not live it up

The power of One
One smile to a stranger
Can start a friendship
One word of repentance
Can end a fight
A simple apology
Can save the day
A forgiving act
Can change a life..
One can also be used
In a negative way :
One nation can start a fight
And try to show others its might
One fool can soon undo
All that is good and true
But one good man
Can surely restore
And bring back peace
To the fore..
The power of one
Is often underestimated
But if one tries it
One will find
Lots of solace and
Peace of mind..
It will dispel the shadows
And help locate the light
If and when it’s used
In the way that’s truly right

In the midst of life there is death
And in the midst of death blooms another life..
A tiny seed has the capacity
To grow into a mighty oak
It just needs to persevere
And hold on with all its might..
The stages of growth are fascinating
Especially in mankind…
A tiny brawling baby
Can turn into a mighty superman
Given the proper initiative and nourishment
There is scope for immense growth
So take that first small step
And then you can carry forth..
We find four seasons in man’s life too –
Spring – when life is budding
Summer – when he is in his full strength and capacity
Autumn – when he is fully matured
And finally – in the winter of his life
he can look back
either with sorrow
or with pride
depending on how he has shaped his life

There are some days
When you do nothing but sigh
Remember, then, my friend
It’s always good to cry..
Vent out your sorrows
And sob out the pain
The tears you shed
Will not be in vain
For you will find release
And your heart will feel light
And you will find your hope
Just when you think you’d lost sight
So sit back and think
Of how far you have come
Then you will realize
How far out, you can reach
And find the solace in your life
That nothing can ever breach
