FRIENDS ?

sometimes I wonder what would it be like knowing none?

would I be not better living my own caring for none?

 

The problems I run into, the complications that arise

the talk they make, and the littlest heed they not pay

 

the little misunderstandings, and no show of tolerance!!

not understanding a friend but going along a stupid sense.

 

when I sit to question, have I really ever tried making a friend?

Or did I just hum along and follow the trend?

 

...tried I to be sincere....

 

befriended and cared for them

respected their feelings, tried not hurt

listened to their sorrows and complains

burdened not them with mine...................

 

and just cuz others' feelings I considered,

and I cared, they called me scared!

 

Scared? afraid? is this what they call it?

is this how they value my sentiment and my affection?

never thought I would need to reconsider

the love that I felt for those others

 

make me they seem a fool

with no sense and no goal

always sincere I thought I was

what to gain from them, I was?

 

realize don't they I am only human

mistakes I might maketh but,

conscious I am always and do careth

best I try that my friendships never endth

 

Behold! should you know, I am no scared

Feel I like, friends I am never to offend

share my opinions and be honest

that's what bring you closest 

what I have to gain from a friend?

but cherish a relationship that's grand

and I hope you understand!

friend I never try make,

maybe, I fear its all fake!

and perhaps they are right,

making friend gives me fright.

a friendship lost..

that might hurt..

....and now I am Scared

then...

sometimes I wonder what would it be like knowing none?

would I be not better living my own caring for none?

 


 

PONDER....

Life filled with riches and laughter

All the pleasures and comforts available

is it Peace that we seek?

What is that we are after?

 

world has advanced and the man has progressed

Life has become routine and the lusts have become necessities

Diverging us even further from realities

Everyone making lousy excuses for their forgotten duties

 

What keeps us thinking such ignorant thoughts?

Why do we lust for this world?

Why we chose this life so material?

And not care about the life that is eternal?

 

Attractions so many, distractions so many

In life so short, time we still waste

In time, before it's too late….

To the Creator as a creation we must duplicate

In prayers, as one we all should bow and supplicate

 

Reflect upon your past and think about the sins

Nothing will get you through when time comes

Count not your material gains

But the tough moral battles your soul wins

 

Be wise, submit and surrender

Before you commit another blunder

Life wont wait for you to wonder

Take a moment and now you ponder

 


 

FORGIVENESS....

I am a believer, less I care what them others say

As I know I can achieve the glory which is my destiny

Here I exist to fulfill one goal common to all

Understanding the Will of my Lord and to follow His Accord

A captive of my own whims, my lusts held me back

Material world--beauty and wealth had me distracted

Living a life, full of fun and laughter

Never worrying about the Hereafter

Enjoying the company of friends and family

Ignoring the existence of any Divine Being,

 

Watching the time passing me by so quickly

Still waiting for some unknown time to repent

 

"I will pray and ask for forgiveness when I am a little older

When I have nothing better to do and end beckons me closer"

 


........PONDERING......

 

wandering aimlessly in this jungle of knowledge

once I was a little careless and now I seem to be lost...

its wilderness, its magnanimity seems to have found the dumber of me...

now when I take the moment to ask myself, what have I done?

 

the answer I get, is quite simple, yet too harsh...

I have dug myself deeper into the marsh

 

I stand here alone, see the many paths leading in all different directions...

But sad as it might be, I find myself left with not many options...

 

in a time like this when I feel helpless and desperate for love,

I sometimes think to seek help from others,

but then I decide, to believe in myself and have trust in my LORD,

for HE will help me find my way back if I hang tight by HIS CORD...

 

lost as a deer in the midst of a town

thus I seek the light that comes from HIS torch

all I wish is a healthy life of HIS appeasement

I fear ONE and seek HIS Forgiveness, none can survive HIS abandonment


 

........THOUGHTS......

maybe I need to grab on to something stronger....a love greater

trying to focus on higher aspirations

foregoing pressing needs of companion pleasure

and unable to move on much further

 

maybe I need to pull myself together with all my might

confusing thoughts swaying emotions cause me fright

lurking hopelessly away from the bright

hoping to be guided by a ray of Divine Light

 

striving to achieve what I desire

maybe I desire more than I deserve

then I think I should get, all my cravings so dire

only if I ask the ONE and to HIM submit all my desire

and not provide another breeding ground for hate and anger

but cultivate feelings of love and passion inside that burn like fire
