Secret of My Joy
Having seen life for 50 years
With all its trials, tribulations and fears
I feel from my experience of world out here
Most people adjust as they have no other alternative here
In this world selfish people abound
To live with them we are bound
We suffer for our past lives deeds
Our life is crafted out of our misdeeds
I believe I should not end my life or run away
For my deeds will follow me all the way
I am the cause of my miseries in life
No one else can be blamed for my strife
I am emotional, don't have much willpower
When upset my tears fall like shower
I tell myself I have food clothing and shelter
With such positive thoughts I feel better
I also think of those who are worse than me
I thank God for all that he has given me
To ensure better future, I avoid doing any sinful act
I strive to do good, however bad others may act
I have read when all our past sins end
We get salvation, rebirth we transcend
I pray to God to absolve my sins with hard days
I seek liberation and this is one of the ways
I have stopped thinking of future and past
I realised both thoughts hold miseries vast
I mentally exist in the moment in front of me
Enjoying every moment I experience glee
A thoughtless mind concentrated in work at hand
For happy living works like a magical wand
Of lately, I have discovered this fact
Boundless happiness it does attract
