Deed is determined by its cover
If you are not good in welcoming
Do the best at farewell.
Relax in the carry
Serious in the thoughts
A good philosophy of life.
Your child is your second chance
To strengthen your failed ambition
Try to make up for what you've missed.
Success is the progressive realization
Of all the process combined efforts
Of a worthwhile goal.
When we work with wisdom we will work world wonders!

I shall
I will
I trust
I must
I cope
I hope
I give
I live
I lie
I die
written August 25, 2021
“A person's prime duty is to serve others,”
Said he to his men and women in his prime time,
And that is what I read, heard, and this bothers
Me when on my philosophy of life, I rhyme.
He kept his life, his dear life, often at risk;
He left, keeping stars between him and his city
As a wayfarer, not knowing where his brisk
Walk would take him to, yet he left out of pity.
When he sniffed after each clue, in quest of truth,
Everyone around, warned him not to head with it,
Yet warning, nor groaning could stop this youth,
Who took his eyes off though this fate he could quit.
He kept his motto in life, by toiling for us,
By losing his clear eyes, by risking his dear life;
I won’t risk my dear life, but without any fuss,
I'll do my due part, to assist you in your strife.

It's a part of me - Life and the perceptions and philosophies you hold Poetry Contest

PHILOSOPHY OF LIFE
Personal philosophy is a shoe which fits me and no one else.
I cannot claim that my philosophy is good for everyone.
All I know is that it is good for me. No one can teach you
A philosophy of life. You must teach yourself.
Used to be a serial on tv called The Lone Ranger,
A cowboy hero who solved problems for others :
And their disrupted community got settled again -
But he disappeared before they even realized he’d gone.
Then they always asked, “Who was that masked man?”
Corny, I know, but it impacted me then
When I was fourteen…….. and it still does.
I want to leave no evidence of my personal presence,
Just good results and benefits which are long-lasting.
I don’t want or need rounds of applause or floodlights.
Please just allow me now to solve the next problem.
I want to leave no footprints in the sand,
No marks of my shoe and its worn-out sole.
A young man Born
Twenty six years
through times passing
mastering the stages of life
Within every heart there is an echo
within every mind a vast cry
the entity each must find
Through the music
a word will be heard
a message will be answered
A dark tunnel may seem lost
extra steps will show hope
use the powers you have
concentrate and you will see light
Winds of time are changing
there's a storm rising
I can feel its electric tide
do you know who I am
for so long I've watched man
my blood is your blood
my heart and soul are in the many that listen
I'm living in the everlasting sky
I am the writer
an idea with melody
with my pen comes color and personality
