Best Efforts Poems
Patiently bear all the troubles
Turn them into bursting bubbles
Calmly accept life's happenings
Hoping God will show openings
Only for us God is present dear
Regarding His presence be clear
Deal with all problems stoically
Prayer will do wonders magically
Surely a solution is available
We are from troubles bailable
We must honesty make a try
By totally believing in the Sky
When in the Sky we can fly
Our greatness, it does imply
Our potential remains dormant
We must utilize our fine talent
If we budge for fear like a fool
We blunt without brain our tool
Please trust and act and aim
Surely success you can claim
Troubles and problems will die
If prayer and hard-work we tie.

A glass within a glass;
in that glass, I seek.
A life within a life;
in that life, I find an unknown movie.
Passing distant echoes,
chasing unforgettable letters and pauses,
finding comfort in the words,
searching for meaning in a glass within.
There is a transparent figure;
I confront myself with an unsatisfied appetite.
There is a wholesome attitude;
I return to myself, and then someone is finally abandoned.
I used to curse my glass for a long time.
I used to urge myself to be forgotten.
I shaped myself into something vast:
a life within a body that strides into the unknown.
I contradicted my reflection with a mouthful of pretty lies.
The light reflects like dice in the glass in my mind.
For so long, I have been trying to chase an unknown dream:
from where I stand to where I am destined.

We are here not seeing or knowing..
The presence of God is at hand and showing.
Often in glimmers that We can not see...
Slender, fulfilled promises of hopes while resting upon Our Knees.
His guiding Hand becoming real as We follow...
A harden Life perhaps as We engage to swallow...
We rest Today with Our minds to gain A Home of Peace.
Breathless; Yet feeling Our Weakness humbled yet to become creased.
Risen in Strengths By The Moments in Gods' Eyes'.
Awaken By Efforts shown as We reach and try...
With The Dreams Present We walk among The Holy.
With Our Spirits flowing with-in as We move forward slowly...
The Calling is worthy Once more for We Are The Beckoned.
In The Inner Eternal Light for We stand in place second.
It was God awaiting Us when We had tripped or had been seen falling.
Reaching upwards to The Promises of His Praise and Calling.
God awaits for Us to grow-up in Our Strengths to exist and Be...
In Our Time when We are Blind or deceive to engage with Thee...
For it was God Who rescues The Chosen for His Grace.
God resides In Our Hearts where Your Home is that Special Place.
As We are consume by a disassembled line in Our Minds of Illusions.
We learn the Gift of Father Time is not a passion of significant delusions.

In spite of my efforts…
to Break the relationship…
or efforts to totally Forget about you ...
I still cannot understand why my tears start to break so silently...
something cries deep down in my soul..
Which still could not forget about you

When the sky is veiled with dark hues
And the days are wintry cold,
When prospects for sky to turn blue
Are dim, remote and far from bold,
When darkness spreads over one`s life
And living is a daily strife,
When chance for brightness to recur
In the near term is faint and blurred,
When fate hurls a soul in a ditch
And dreams seem to be out of reach,
But youthful hues sit on the skin
Like a plant newly flowering
Like the freshness of morning dew
And the joints carry manly strength,
Hopes for summer to bring anew
Brighter sunny days at long length
May truly enlighten the heart,
A solid sense of strength impart
Cheer up the spirit for a while
And on the face restore a smile.
Yet hope can turn to be futile
If it rests on grounds that`re sterile
And not tendered with rightful care
Or left alone to its own fare;
Dreams may remain only as dreams
If not propelled with with proper steam,
Hopes for a better tomorrow
Can be the cause of sad sorrow
If not cemented with efforts
Aimed at improving one's own lot.
Hope may just beget illusion
And give rise to dark delusion;
It can`t serve as a prop for long,
Nor does man live on hope alone;
One`s beloved goals to achieve
One does need to roll up the sleeves,
Set one`s hands to relentless toil
And let not one`s chances to spoil
As to make one`s dreams become true
Hope linked with efforts is the clue.

Constancy is scarce in life
Although it's usual
In Mathematical and scientific theories
In life we yearn for an increasing ratio
In happiness,wealth, power and fame
These are great expectations,dreams
And greeds
In life we yearn for a decreasing ratio
In efforts
This is laziness
Success is propotional to efforts
Wisdoms and fate
And so a constant ratio is scarce
And an increasing ratio is scarce too
If without efforts, wisdoms and luck
If without conspiracy and scandals
The consequence is more obvious
And so
Don't just envy and admire
But try your best
And accept your rewards from God
And find yourself any pride
And find yourself any satisfaction

By mouth you eat food and drink.
By nose you smell fresh taste or stink.
By ear you listen to a different noise,
By eyes you see what is a natural pose.
When you breathe you eat dust,
When you see that appetite you first,
When you listen that makes you lust,
When you drink belly grows hunger best.
What’s your nature?
It depends upon what do you eat or drink?
Human is a natural creature,
Internal and external natural system makes link.
You grow in your body what you fed,
Your efforts make you alive or dead.

Do the work, feel the pain
Your efforts may not be in vain
Notice the necessity
Enhance your ability
Where there is a chance
Don’t be in a trance
Grab the opportunity
Act upon your duty
For the outcome will be your gain
Do the work, feel the pain
Your efforts may not be in vain

The more the silence, the louder it gets.
Life is filled with misery and despair.
I find peace as the sun sets.
One can never breathe the fresh air.
Why am I stuck with this feeling?
Never satisfied nor ecstatic.
Why is life this sad and depressing?
Is my life really problematic?
All I feel is wistful and despondent.
Rainstorms all over my room.
Can I ever be independent?
I am happy, is what you assume.

Having a child is a blessing and not by efforts or will and wealth
Neither by only health and strength
It’s like the air that all the time blows
Towards any direction it pleases, it blows
Having children is fun
But comes when it is timed to come like the sun
Man is not responsible if it decides to shine or not
Of course, that authority, we have not.
Let the barren live comfortable in the midst of their trauma
I even urge them to stay out of the realm of that trauma
Have fun and dine in the world you can make a heaven
Barrenness does not disqualify one from going to Heaven
Neither is it a defect of becoming a mother
A needy child you pick will definitely call you mother
And of course it is your actions and care that make you a mother
Remember, not all child bearers are mothers
The care, love, affection, protection and upbringing of a child make mothers!

Learn to ride a bicycle is not simple
As is life
The accessories like the pedals, the chain, the tires
And the handlebar
Must all in good conditions
As are life essentials a must
You must push the pedals
To move the bicycle
As are efforts needed
To achieve a successful life
You must steer the handlebar
For a right direction
As is the right direction needed
To achieve your ambition and dreams
There are always no short cuts
Without efforts in life
God is never silent
He is giving lectures in nature
It's time we try to understand
Will we

Never deviate from you goal my dear
Always pursue it with maximum cheer
Concentrate showing fullest attention
Give not room for possible diversion
Only by chasing your goal you can win
Your hope and faith must not be thin
Let your mind be filled with determination
All fears and doubts must get elimination
Progress must be your golden principle
Scope for optimism alone is really ample
Chase the goal and try to do the best
Work hard taking the required rest
Just by dreaming we can never excel
Often we must perform a rehearsal
Only by practice we stand to gain
We must toil by bearing severe pain
We must not put a limit to our ambition
Our approach must be full of fore vision
Think, plan, act and realize your goal
Prayer will help by playing a fine role.

To each their own,
for that is known to them but not
others, for what is known, is different
than theirs, as constant gains
knowledge of what they do, and do so well, grassroots
skills are enhanced, for their safety and their future,
for such is the proportionment
for all concern for their obtained measured values.
