Sonnet: ’Tis Wiser to Get God’s Help
The things we do, need not be all correct;
How they are done, we never know for sure;
The time to do, we know not to select;
We do most things as if in a seizure!
How long to try before we can give up?
How do we know our direction’s proper?
How long to sip or change to newer cup?
Many a time, our take-off’s improper!
The man who gets God’s help in life is sane;
Great achievements will surely come his way;
God is an advantage- a boon, not bane;
Impossible things then see light of the day.
Success/ Failure are decided by God;
The prudent man will lean upon the Lord.

A Long Time Ago
Sitting here , all alone
Wondering what to do
Life went faster than the time
I had to achieve the things I had in mind
Their disguise , I see with my eyes
Many things I should have realized
A long time ago , long long time ago
Never changing , ever aging
It drags from day to day
I wish that I had found myself
Before it robbed me of the time
Oh no , oh no
I should have realized
A long long time ago
A long time ago
A long time ago
(break)
Seeing things , open doors
People invited me into
Oh they were so good to me
And always helped me on my way
Then I woke from this dream
Known that I should have realized
A long time ago
Long long time ago
Another day , another way
I dont care what people say
No , I realize that theres no other way for me
Suppose Ill just have to live from day to day
Oh no , oh no
I should have realized
A long long time ago
A long time ago
A long time ago

Why Do I Feel So Sad?
Friends we've been for so long
Now true colors are showing
Makes me wanna cry oh yes it does
Cuz I had to say goodbye
By now I should know
That in time things would change
So it shouldn't be so bad
So why do I feel so sad
How can I adjust
To the way that things are going
It's killing me slowly
Oh I just want it to be how it used to be
Cuz I wish that I could stay
But in time things must change
So it shouldn't be so bad
So why do I feel so sad
You cannot hide the way you feel inside I realize
Your actions speak much louder than words
So tell me why oh
By now I should know that
That in time things would change
So it shouldn't be it shouldn't be so bad
So why do I feel so sad
By now I should know
That in time things must change
So it shouldn't be so bad
So why do I feel so sad
By now by now I should know
That in time things must grow
And I had to leave you behind
So why do I feel so sad
If it couldn't be that bad
Tell me why
By now I should know
That in time things would change
So it shouldn't be so bad
So why do I feel so sad

Failures
When failures come, oh, do not fret;
For failures, you must not regret;
Through failures, one can turn perfect,
As failure isn’t a great defect!
Each failure gives us chance again;
Through failures, we have much to gain;
So, failures are a boon, not bane;
Yes, failures make a man much sane!
All cannot win in life always;
Set-backs do come to us some days;
With failures, one makes strong a base;
Our failures bestow bolder face!
With failures come, added wisdom;
’Tis hard to hold a large kingdom;
Failures in life are much welcome,
As successes will always come.
Failures help us to love God more;
Failures are winning signs in core;
Failures can open newer door;
Failures can take us to the fore!
Which man on earth had always won?
With rain, there comes a brighter sun;
With failures, one can have much fun;
Failures aid us to faster run!
Failures can help us fare better;
Failures aren’t man’s strongest fetter;
Failures are just a trend-setter;
Failures make us a win-getter!
By failures, one can stop awhile;
Through failures, you run longer mile;
Failures do not remain life’s bile;
Failures help us finish in style!
Failures help us see truth again;
Failures remove the pride and feign;
Failures help us take newer lane;
Failures help us win in the main!
Through failures, we begin again,
And success smiles, easing out pain!

Sonnet: No Man is perfect
Most men on earth do things as per their wish;
Only a few think well before they act;
Most minds are egoistic and selfish;
Advice if free has takers few- a fact.
By trial/ error, each one spends his life;
Things may go wrong and you never know why;
Both haves and have-nots get problems and strife;
No man is sure when he would surely die.
Man wonders if when life’s each stage is past,
Could he have lived in better ways and did,
Some things in prudent manner or too fast?
Some problems of his life, could he have rid?
No man can perfectly perform all things,
Nor can he solve all queries that life brings.

Sonnet: Human Talents
Human beings are made of finer stuff!
Some introspection will reveal the same;
Some have many talents- This is no bluff;
If well-nurtured, they give him name and fame.
But where is the time to do all these things?
Time is so short, most precious and fleeting;
Much of it is wasted just like hot drinks,
In worthless things, in glamour and eating.
Time is lost in unknown ways every day;
A lot too in emotional reactions;
Time can be saved in a sensible way;
Talents give success by proper actions.
O man, search thy mind and heart for talents;
You’ll surely find them in measures immense.

But A Mist
Our life on earth is but a mist, no matter how long that list,
Of those things in the past, of achievements we amassed,
Or those things we want to do, before time here is through,
For we are simply a vapor here, with that end drawing near.
Years of three score and ten, a time decreed for most men,
With good health, maybe more, no man can be totally sure,
Or one could have a shorter end, to the life they have friend,
Short or long, our life will be, a small blip in light of Eternity.
All the things that we’ve done, are fading like the setting sun,
Maybe, still a memory in our mind, but, they’ll be left behind,
The distant memories in our heart, many gone, as we depart,
From this earth and the past; a time for all that shall not last.
Of the present, we don’t know, how much we have yet to go,
Or what could change friend, to alter present time we spend,
Pursuing all wants and needs, uncertain where a future leads,
And death is as sure as birth, for all one day leave this earth.
All our lists, present or past, apart from God shall never last,
But all done for Christ shall be, transferred over into Eternity,
When life’s mist is over and done; in eternity with God’s Son,
Where these mists will endure, with Jesus Christ forevermore.

Never Change
Someone's always tellin' me I'm no good
well I don't care what you say
someone's always givin' me a hard time
well I live day to day
someone's always puting me in my place
like I don't know where I am
so I'll just sit here in the corner
without any
direction
Maybe it's it's all in my head
I think that it's something something you said
I understand that some things will
never change
never change
Someone's always kickin' me to the curb
well it's grindin' off my face
someone's always pushing me to the side
like I'm standing in the way
someone's always getting up in my face
like I don't know who I am
so once again i'm in the corner
without any
direction
Maybe it's it's all in my head
I think that it's something something you said
I understand that some things will
never change
Somebody's always out to get me
somebody's always tryin' to kill me
understand some things will
never change
Why did you have to go and change
couldn't you just have stayed the same
why did you have to go and say
Maybe it's it's all in my head
I think that it's something something you said
understand that some things will
never change
never change
Somebody's always out to get me
somebody's always tryin' to kill me
understand some things will never change
Why did you have to go and change
couldn't you just have stayed the same
why did you have to go and say
understand some things don't change
Why did you have to go and change
couldn't you just have stayed the same
why did you have to go and say
understand some things don't change
Never change
some things never change
some things never change

On Perseverance For Success
Who says that things cannot be done?
Nothing’s impossible on earth;
Most things are possible under the sun;
But perseverance should be thine friend!
The one who gives up with ease is a fool!
The wise person labors with determination;
Yet, one must choose the things that one can do,
And go full steam ahead, till comes success.
Perseverance is the secret of success;
By continual toil, failures can be avoided;
Great things were done by burning mid-night’s oil!
“The toiler harvests best of fruits in life.”

Time Time Time
Cause time cant make things better
Cause time cant make things right
Cause time cant change are past
I’ll keep holding on, Being strong, for you
I’ll keep being strong, seeing through, for you
Cause time cant make things better
Cause time cant make things right
Cause with time you never know better
Cause time cant make a change
Cause with time we cant complain
I’ll hold on to you with all the time in the world
If time could give that time back with you again
Oh how id be true to you
oh how id hold you in my arms
But time cant make things better
Cause time cant make things right
Say id hold you from now in till forever tonight
Yah tonight
But cant make things better
No time cant make things right
If with time we only knew better and make it right
Cause time we cant change
But time cant make things better
Cause time cant make things right
Say id hold you from now in till forever tonight
Yah tonight
But cant make things better
No time cant make things right
If with time we only knew better and make it right
Cause time we cant change
Cause with time we cant complain
I’ll hold to you forever
I’ll make it seem better
I’LL keep holding on being strong for you
Ill keep holding on seeing through for you
And I’ll hold you in my arms
Will dance under the moon
Baby I promise you will be together real soon
I got time on my hands Time on my hand
I give it all away to see you again
Just to see you again
In the futures of time

Adieu, Dear Madam!
We’ll miss you for a very long time from now on;
It is sad that you will be really gone;
But problems do come in life unexpectedly;
And harsh decisions must be taken at times!
But you have taken the right decision today;
It is a bold one with sacrifice and selflessness;
We thank you for your help as a faculty;
The Dean thanks you for your work as VP.
Nevertheless, you are not scared to work honestly;
That is the advantage, you carry with you;
Things will be alright in a short while from now;
The mist of chaos will clear very soon.
We wish you ‘All the best in life’ in the new place;
You will rise up to a higher position in time;
God is with you wherever you go;
Things will be fine and bliss will abound.
We’ll surely miss you, I can assure;
But things must happen the way they must;
You will be in our hearts and minds;
Separations are just transitory.
May God bless you in your new workplace!
May God bless your family!
May God give you years of health!
May God give you the needed wealth!
Dear Dr. B.K.Padmavathi M.D., ‘Wish you the very best! ’
From Dean and all faculty and Staff of IRT, PMC.

Sonnet: Don’t You Worry
Some things may happen unexpectedly;
No need to fret or fume or feel depressed;
All things do happen for our good only;
Let’s hope that life makes feel less repressed.
We should not change in ways the world expects;
We must not change if principles are lost;
We can adjust to things if world respects;
For everything, there is a risk and cost!
Don’t you worry as God decides all things;
Just take the things as they come up to you;
None can predict the time and things, life brings;
Life brings problems and apt solutions too.
All things in life are transient, ev’n if long;
We have to do things right and not the wrong!

The Course of Life, Time, And Events and The Process of Change
Time or fate may separate friends, lovers,
But friendship or love that's true will ever
Thenceforth continue to live forever,
True love conquers the odd with its power.
As time passes by, things change with the time,
Every moment, hour, day, month, and year,
All things have their turn to change with the time,
Life, time, and events change with the years.
Everyone, everything, have a time and day,
A time to change, end, begin a new day,
Change is life, the course of life everyday,
All things change, and we change with them all days.
Only the Eternal one is constant,
All things in the universe, inconstant,
But despite it all, love is important,
The world may change, but true love is constant.

inspiration ***** I AM NOT THE MAN OF FAILURE
Don’t say I am undoer
Don’t tell I didn’t try
I have many endeavors
Success not yet reply
Don’t think I’m just a dreamer
A man who wants to fly
Across heavenly castle
Without single step I try
I am not the man of great loss
I am not the one you think
But yes I am arisen
From chaotic world of pain
I am not the man of failure
Nor the man of success too
I am in midst of challenges
Fighting hindrance foe
I am not the man of failure
‘cause I give up not nor quit
I am in sweat and labor
Struggling learn to wait
I melt hundred candles
Spark in countless nights
With one dedicated heart
For my course as guiding light
Now my striving years are long
So quite long of time
Seems a lifetime journey
Till success crowns along my way…..

Through Our Love
We... wasted time and again
On things... things we already knew
Born to do... I give my love to you
Whenever you get some time
Whenever you get some time
Id like to roll it all
Up in ball
And spend it with you
Youve got the power of love
And love has the power, to make it come true
We can go through our love
We can do things that they said were impossible
Through our love
We can do all that we want to do
We can go through our love
We can go through our love
Whenever you will be mine
Whenever you will be mine
I want to be with you
Just want to do whatever feels right
Youve got the power of love
And love has the power to turn on the light
Here we go through our love
We can see things that they said were invisible
Through our love
We can see where we are going to
Were going through our love
Through our love we can learn to do things that they said were
Impossible
Through our love
We can be blessed with a better view
We can go through our love
We can go through our love
We can go through our love

Failure And Success
Failure is the penalty,
for continually getting things wrong.
Success on the other hand is the award,
for getting things continually right.
Failure puts you down in despair.
Success sends you soaring among the clouds.
Therefore, I look at myself and wonder,
am I a success or failure.
Then maybe I am a bit of both.
Whichever way the hammer falls
only you can decide.

When Things Change Lightning Quick
When things change lightning quick
and feelings, lives get a new direction
you are surrounded by change,
change that intrude into your life
and still when at a time you think things through,
even where you were caught in a thorny - wood
you see a new horizon, new stars shining
with growth coming from the delay
where another rising day brings healing,
where painful things comes as enrichment to your own life
and even when change circles out wider,
have a direct impact on how you experience things
answers appears from the nought,
you see star upon star shooting past full of promises.

Things Change
(aimee mayo, bill luther, chris lindsey, marv green)
They wouldnt let him play the opry
With whiskey on his breath
And it didnt takeem long
To figure out what they missed
He went down that lost highway
Underneath the purple sky
A legend disappeared before his time
Things change
They said he was the devil
Dressed in gold leme
The way he shook his hips
Out there on that stage
But before that faithful day
He left tennessee
All of them were calling him the king
Things change
Well they like to call them hippies
Outlaws with guitars
But they brought a little poetry
To the honky tonks and bars
They mightve got a little crazy
They might have flew a little too high
Somewhere somebodys playing their song tonight
Things change
(dont you know things change)
Now some say its too country
Some say its a little rock n roll
But its just good music
If you can feel it in your soul
It doesnt really matter
Its always been the same
Life goes on
Things change
Bridge:
Dont you know they change
Oh, things change
As long as this world is turning
Things are gonna change
Gonna keep on changing
Gonna change
