Poem Title:
Poem
"Life teaches many lessons along the way If you are aware of them you can make life better in every way" I lost my mother when I was 10 Learned first lesson of my life Acquire skills from those who know Once they are gone you can do nothing except Crying out of sheer helplessness and regret When in twenties miseries of world pained me poor dying of hunger, so much disparity in world, If God exists why is he not doing anything? This led me to an era of reading, in spiritual books I found answers to my questions Discovered real aim of life is salvation, we suffer because we have sinned in past births Suddenly one day father passed away, day after his death he talked to us (could hear his voice clearly) "I regret not spending time with my granddaughter I thought I will play with my son's children I never expected to die all of a sudden" I learnt that day to enjoy life, not to postpone happiness for tomorrow Got married with dreams of love and happiness only to be greeted by selfish people who criticized me endlessly Cried daily for 10 years then one day shouted at all They couldn't take it, they subdued but I was not happy. I had sinned. Learnt many truths of life Those who criticize cannot stand their own criticism To avoid guilty conscience do good however bad others may be One should have no desires, they give endless miseries My past experience are so bad that their very thought makes me sad I try not to think of past, I live in the moment in front, savouring every bit of it As for desires I have ended all for I realised fulfillment is not entirely in my hands. I have no expectations from anyone... I try to be happy and stay away from anything that can steal it. Date: 11/16/2020
