Poem
What’s the use of crying, in a Yesterday that’s gone? What’s the point of worrying, in a Tomorrow not yet born? Why not live in bliss and joy and peace? In the present moment be happy, be happy, can we please? Be happy in the NOW, this moment is a Gift Smile and dance and celebrate, don’t just exist or drift It is in this moment, that we can choose to be happy and glad Let’s not lose this moment, to memories that make us sad Yesterday is a place, that we just can’t go The past is an illusion, it’s like a dream- a stage show There is no way of being happy, in a moment that has passed The only thing it will give us, regrets that will last The future doesn’t exist, it’s just another dream It looks so very real, as long as we worry and scream How can we be happy in an illusion of the mind? Let’s wake up to the NOW, let’s not be blind Everybody wants to be happy, who doesn’t want this gift? Who doesn’t want to enjoy their life with a lift? Everybody wants pleasure, nobody wants pain But they look for it in wrong places, stressed and in vain Of course, we can be happy, in every moment of life It’s a choice for us to live, with happiness or strife If we decide that we want bliss, joy, and peace Then we must be happy before this moment will cease Happiness is not only becoming a millionaire in this world Are the rich the only ones happy? See this truth unfold There are many who are fulfilled and content in life Though they have little, they are happy and they smile What’s the secret of happiness? It’s being happy in the NOW Not shuttling from the past to the future, we must not go We must learn to remain in the present moment with ease Then bliss, joy, and happiness will blow like the breeze Our mind is like a monkey, it jumps here and there It doesn’t let us be happy,it wanders like a hare If we truly want happiness, turn the monkey into a monk Being in the present moment fixed like a tree runk The way to joy is ‘Surrender’, to the Lord’s divine will Not living with hope and expectations, not worrying about bills The future will unfold, as per the Lord’s divine plan It’s for us to be happy, whatever comes in our pan Why live in regrets, of the past that’s already gone It’s the Master’s wish that happened, why regret all that’s done? The way to joy is to accept the Lord’s divine will And not curse and nurse, and rehearse every ill
