Quest and Request

I read somewhere a soul searching request
He must be honest in his drive and quest
What puzzled more was his pursuit?
In no way it justified and suit

How come a ill willed person asks fellow person?
How come he asks for the solution with reasons?
As if he has done with known intentions
And now presents himself with all excuses and retentions

I don’t know what answer he might have got for his satisfaction
But main worries remained unanswered and posed a question
How come soul can be cleaned from stains?
That was done all over the years with sins

I think person could have addressed it directly
As he searched it among friend circles ineptly
He could get little hint or direction for all worries
As it was not possible to leave with heavy load and carry

It is ridiculous to ask for reprieve after committing sins
How come anybody can grant a pardon when it is seen?
I consider it clever ploy to cheat even our God father
Who has done so much for whole universe and promised not to bother

There is no other go than to surrender
There is no discrimination for any gender
He is kind and merciful to all
Only we have to demonstrate and scale the wall

What pulls us back from known evils?
Is it simply a ignorance or happy drill?
Where you rehearse before going for act
And wait for the result in fact

You need to forget once act is performed
You are well aware and informed too
There is no going back for what you did
You got to pick threads and make clean lead

Struggle not for what you think might be bad
It may sometimes compel you to think and make sad
Yet it is done in good faith and needs no remorse
But prayer with clear heart is needed of course

Repeal Evil Force

'If ever I did anything wrong to any one'
I shall be excused, pardoned or forgiven
This forms daily prayer and I reiterate
My pledge to almighty even if that is unrelated

It is good to bow before him for anything
That is going to take place or even nothing
One prayer before going to bed sincerely
And another when I get up and forget rarely

It has tremendous power and pull
You are aware of what is going on in full
Your hand shakes before doing something wrong
Even if you may be the guilty person among

'Lead me kindly to the light O, God'
I shall repeat it for soul not to be sold
For paltry gain or harming the innocent
And request Him to be at heart and present

I feel confident when resume the daily routine
Even though the experience may be felt like quinine
Yet some divine feeling pushes us to stick
Discard the wrong and right thing to pick

These are the elementary things to observe
Life is full of problems and difficult to serve
There has to be some strong resolves
Will power to fight back and eagerness to solve

I ask nothing when prayer is performed
Only soul is searched and well informed
What I intend to and what is actually to be
Mind to think and heart to act simply free

It has nothing to do with any religion
It is secret bond and one kind of union
Something is spoken internally to feel with remorse
And ask for blessings to repeal evil force

Surrender To Lord

Legend says' don't hurt any one'
Even by gesture or words alone
But also not to look with vicious eye
Such attempts may be called futile try

Person may come to know what is in your mind
What excuses you are trying to find?
He may not make it known in public
But may know the aim with instinct

So many people avoid ill fate
They get some hint before it is too late
They are forced to act despite unwillingness
They may pursue it as if faced by mad chase

God has always remained merciful
Some kind of tragedy may take place and prove harmful
Yet there is some good result behind incidence
People may exclaim 'look you have escaped by grace'

Each and every step has His blessings
You get everything in time and nothing misses
If not today, you may certainly get it with double benefit
Only condition is that you got to be right person for it

'We err and tender the apology in prayer'
Take solace in asking reprieve by going near
At least resort to by remembrance of few holy words
With eyes almost close and sincere surrender to lord

God's Hand's

I have worried about the things,
In which that I cannot control
Which causes me so much pain
And so much strain upon my soul.
Friends and family tell me not to worry
About the things I cant do anything about
So finally I agree to them one and all
And with the devil, I have fought my last bout.
I realized I cannot control the hatred
Nor more can I control sins or lying
These are worries that I think about
Also along with sadness and crying.
As we all live in our lifetime
So many problems will head our way
Some that we are the master of
And some which will make us feel betrayed.
So as I have my own problems
Which all of course they are man made
By evil and sins that are created daily
And someday there memories will all fade.
I cannot control the weather
Whenever it rains or when it storms
I cannot control the way people act
Even though they have been fore warned.
I cannot tell any person how to act
Or can I tell them please not to sin
These are worries I keep in my soul and heart
As a new day for me will always begin.
So I will say these last words
As I will make this one last stand
I will leave all those worries to someone else
As I will leave them all, Into GOD’S hands.

What Can One Person Do

(n. rodgers/g. smith)
What can one person do
More than a little bit
More than a little bit
Can I fight the battle
All by myself
Can I make a miracle happen
As long as I can think
And got my health
Ill never stop
Im too strong for that
What can one person do
When its one like you
When its one like me
What can one person do
When its one like you
When its one like me
Everyones gotta move
What they can move
The faithful can sometimes move mountains
When your faith is right
You will never lose your heart, your hope
Or your good friends
Dont be overcome by frustrations
Live up to your highest expectations
Im tellin you just for your information
Just for, just for your information
What can one person do
When its one like you
When its one like me
What can one person do
When its one like you
When its one like me
What can one person do
When its one like you
When its one like me
What can one person do
When its one like you
When its one like me
Looked into my soul and suspected
That Im gonna take, gonna take on the unexpected
Walked into the fire unprotected
Walk into the fire
What can one person do
What can one person be
What can one person do
When its one like you
When its one like me
What can one person do
When its one like you
When its one like me
What can one person do
When its one like you
When its one like me
What can one person do
When its one like you
When its one like me
What can one person do
When its one like you
When its one like me
What can one person do
When its one like you
When its one like me

Beg your pardon

I beg your pardon
Though it takes place seldom
I might have erred
Still your blessings need to be conferred

You are not only great
But decider of my fate
Before it is too late
Bestow me with your kindness and checkmate

I come to you when engulfed with confusion
I pray sincerely when body is deep under immersion
All my dirty ideas get washed and emerge as pure soul
I take resolve not to enter part in unholy game or commit foul

I consciously cheat self still plead for ignorance
I have no intention of looking back or have glance
I leave behind dirty tail and still seek mercy
Bow silently, offer prayers with good oratory and fluency

I know you are there to pardon me for any crime
Only I have to solemnly pledge that it was not my good time
I was carried away by compelling situation
The wrong intention was never there and rule out of question

“Come to me for any of problems” you once said
I have full faith in it and foundation is strongly laid
I can have little excuse in committing mistakes
Even though there may be nothing or little at stake

I can prevail upon my emotions
Though all the evils may be kept in motion
I shall pledge not to repeat or adhere to
Strictly follow the ethics and go through

I console the self that now I am armed with enough
Excuses that can morally strengthen me without further laugh
I have some basic reasons on which to make the case
Even though there is little hope for weak base

I am for sure to get the reprieve
As I have full faith and do believe
In His divine powers and reach
I deserve some sympathy even if it is breached

I think of those sufferings undergone
Still not revenged and forgiven
It is greatness and that has influenced my thoughts
So I have submitted as it has been taught

I can not cheat anybody by playing simple game
Everybody knows where to bow and pass the blame
I have little hesitation in pleading the cause
I am to be blamed for everything as per the case

I may have only one satisfaction when come out from your refuge
I shall take fresh pledge not to indulge in or refuse
A simple resolve to obey and fall on stated lines
I have full faith and belief that in the end it may prove fine

Gloomy Faces

Many gloomy faces are around
Generally ridden with worries but occasionally found
It forces us to think more about their perception
Where as it is definitely a real question

World ends for them with single failure
They have no clue or any solution for its cure
They may bear heavy load at heart and mind
Show to the people that they are serious but not blind

'I tried my level best to save the life but failed'
One of my close relatives confided in mail
Now I am alone in world and rudderless
How will I carry on endlessly and face?

Some of the incidences are purely accidental
They may sometimes prove costly and fatal
It is beyond reach or control of human being
They forecast misfortune and bring untold sufferings

Man can bear setbacks up to certain level
Beyond it they may not be able to withstand or tell
So entire burden rides on them and appears on the face
Behavior comes to sudden changes in such cases

Well, this can be taken as natural
Some people may express orally
Some people may cry loud and express grief
But that impression stays for only brief

As life is full of uncertainties and misfortunes
A person can't remain alive and alert to its tunes
Some of the set backs can dishearten a person
It may multiply or reduce the impact by many reasons

If person can pick little threads
And remain stand fast and continue to lad
Then it will be considered as big achievement
We should not be over come by such sad developments

Pain

Pain—sharpen but yet dull and painless.
So numb to the pain given to my body that instead of rejecting it, my heart automatically accepts the pain.
Like medicine to the soul, pain seems to be my healer.
Pain seems to bring together life and death.
Pain seems to soothe the soul because without Pain I would be weak: timid: short: and unfulfilled.
You see pain is needed to make a person stronger.
Pain is needed to make a person un-afraid of hurt.
Pain is needed to make a person stand up, be proud and walk tall because they are more certain of the future.
Pain is needed to make one feel more fulfilled.
All because of these feelings my heart becomes full but it brings me back to the root cause: PAIN.
This 4 letter word causes hearts to be crushed relentlessly. It dishevels emotions once grounded and bruises egos. Pain.
Pain. My painkiller.
Pain. My happy endings.
Pain. My way out.
Pain. My life.

Mother In Law

(a. toussaint)
Mother in law, mother in law
Mother in law, mother in law
The worst person I know
Mother in law, mother in law
She worries me so
Mother in law, mother in law
If she leaves us alone
We could have a happy home
Sent from down below
Mother in law, mother in law
Mother in law, mother in law
Satan should be her name
Mother in law, mother in law
To me theyre about the same
Mother in law, mother in law
Everytime I open my mouth
Steps in trying to put me out
How could you stood so low
Mother in law, mother in law
Mother in law, mother in law
Come home with my pay
Mother in law, mother in law
She asks me what I made
Mother in law, mother in law
She thinks her advice is a contribution
If she would leave that would be the solution
Dont come back no more
Mother in law, mother in law
Mother in law, mother in law....

Always miss me

You will always miss
My tender love and kiss
The story turned with the twist
It has remained only a mist

I had dreamed of a Little but
It was shrouded by mystery and but
You never came with good proposal
I only waited for your arrival

The dark clouds used to make me awake
The life and everything was at stake
The situation was about to make
It seems unrealistic and now will break

You were self centered
You had deviated and altered
Your original course and back tracked
Your promises proved hollow and faked

I know you might not missed me at all
As you had not responded to call
I had slipped and preferred down fall
You were still a mystery and proved wall

You were clever and very smart
You smashed and broken my heart
I have no reason still to feel being cheated
I have eagerly watched and waited

Will you come and make me happy?
Or will you deceive me like many?
I had full faith and strong desire
You had all the way preferred to admire

I clearly failed to pick
You were hell bent with to beat with stick
It was invisible blow to mind
I was unable to sense and find

Am I not at all so weak?
I feel bad but do not speak
I retain and do not reveal
With heavy heart I prefer to conceal

I wish it to be temporary phase
The fear and agony I want to erase
It is not allowing me to feel at ease
I wait for new energy to release

Let there prevail some change
Let him come straight and manage
I shall welcome him for various reasons
He is so close to my heart as person

I have never tried to find any fault
It was close secret and held in vault
It will not be spoken at any cost
You have remained close to heart and in mind uppermost

I shall not complain or shed the tears
I will simply watch and truthfully bear
The wounds inflicted by you as reward
I shall be anxious and look forward

You are not less than anybody
Still you hold special position as somebody
I found it quite amusing and pleasant
If would be doubled if you had remained present

I shall never be a dejected person
I have understood and followed every season
I know the tide will turn one day
I will feel happy in special way

Set to receive

Mind is set to receive
With all cunning ideas to deceive
Yet it is called brilliance
I too think same at once

It may travel far off and come back
Make the place and rightfully stake
Even thought nothing belongs in person as such
But it is mind with all thoughts and worries so much

They jumble up in mind and crowd
Speak in strength and so loud
I wish to get up and shout
Ask them to leave and get out

They create siren in head
Get me no where to lead
Don’t allow me to think and read
I pray them to leave and plead

They may invade aimlessly
This may leave me restlessly
I will lye down and not think much
They may come and go as such

Mind is their refuge ground
The place is easily found
Nothing to worry and plenty to explore
Make men desperate and compel to think more

To Address The Transgender

‘He' is for third person male gender.
‘She' is for third person female gender.
‘It' is the third person neutral gender.
What is for third person transgender?
Is that person Sir or Madam?
Is that person Mr., Mrs., or Miss.?

A Person's Worth Is Invaluable

A person's worth,
Isn't in their ability...
To obtain worldly possessions.
Or in the quality of them.

Can that person nourish others,
With encouragement?
Can that person be a true friend...
When the time for being one,
Shows what kind of skin...
That person 'is'
And exposes from within.

Being able to spend cash,
And make a quick dash on trips...
Or do a name dropping of notables,
Doesn't mean a thing...
If a person is negligent,
To extend heartfelt feelings...
Not too many can express or mention.

A person's worth is invaluable,
When a genuineness appears...
To surface time and again.
And that is proven to be dependable,
Without a doubt or a need to question.

Can that person nourish others,
With encouragement that does not end?
A person's worth will unearth,
Who and what comes first...
Regardless of those impressions made,
Someday that will fade...
Long after established ties with others,
Have remained to stay!

Rises Above!

the well read soul
rises above his poverty,
and takes his brother with him.
only the ignorant take without giving...
their poverty, well disguised by possessions,
never goes away!

faith has nothing to do
with ignorance, with blind following.
faith is built on knowledge,
and honed through experience.

the person that stands up
in the middle of the storm,
and asks why...
has already spoken
the hidden name of god!

Dearest Mom (A Mother's Eulogy)

I thank God for the many blessing bestowed
Upon us all through the years and the good times we shared
And one of the greatest blessings of all
Is He gave us you Mom and the warmth of your smile

You brought joy to our hearts when at times we were blue
When we needed a friend Mom we all turned to you
You'd make all our worries melt quickly away
Your warmth and compassion would brighten our days

If we searched the world over no where would be find
A person more generous, gentle and kind
And we miss you so much Mom things just aren't the same
But now you're with the Lord, praise His Holy Name

And I imagine your joy and the glow on your face
As you meet our Lord Jesus, feel his warm embrace
And Linda and Rodney are there with you too
All the Angel's rejoicing as they welcome you!

And I realize that even though I am sad
God's given me reasons as well to be glad
So don't worry bout us Mom, we'll all be O.K.
And we know that we'll all be together someday

We love you Mom! ! !

Pardon Me

I tried my best
I gave my all
Sometimes my best wasn't good enough
For you
Sometimes I let you go
Sometimes I hurt you so
I know that I can be the meanest person in the world
[Chorus:]
So I apologize to you
And to anyone else that I hurt too
I may not be the perfect soul
But I can't learn self control
So pardon me! pardon me! pardon me my friend!
I never thought
That anyone
Was more important than the plans
I made
But now I feel the shame
There's no one else to blame
For all the broken hearts scattered on the field of war
[Chorus:]
So I apologize to you
And to anyone else that I hurt too
I may not be the perfect soul
But I can't learn self control
So pardon me! pardon me! pardon me my friend!

Sometimes I let you go
Sometimes I hurt you sooo!
I know that I can be the meanest person in the world..

So I apologize to you,
And to anyone else that I hurt too,
I may not be a perfect soul
But I can't learn self control
And in my heart I feel its true
So I'll be there with you!!!
So pardon me
Pardon me
Pardon me my friend
Pardon meeeee

Pardon meee

Happy Smile

What can bring a happy smile on face?
Even this doesn’t happen with sound knowledge and base
Despite having firm commitment to the noble cause
Person seems to be engulfed with problems as it never was

I used to think on this aspect silently
Sometimes it may invite opposition vehemently
Right person may not like to be reminded often
As it hurts his ego and compels to go berserk even

Some of the tragic incidences grip a person
Make him little off the ground with reason
This is one of the critical moments and hard time
When special advice is needed sometimes

Many friends might have promised words
Call him any time in need and look forward
But some of the secrets are not to be shared with all
It is to be considered as one of the most confidential call

It might have put heavy stone on the heart
The burden can’t be passed on from the start
It has to be held on till the solution is found
Go smilingly and make merry go round

You neither can cry nor shout loudly
It will have to be faced proudly
The result may not be liked in essence
But it may have to appreciated at once

Not all people are blessed with brilliance
On the sport reply is a caliber at variance
It proves hidden capability of simple man
This one is always praised by his woman

Women always want their men to be perfect
Not to lack even point percent with their act
This has brought them near to the basic fact
Men must walk with them silently and not to react

Confessing Sins

when guilt is full
there comes a time when we think of
the possibility of confessing our sins,
the usual sins of omissions
more than our sins of commissions,

to a friend perhaps, but you doubt
for he has more sins than you have
and it might as well end
on the reverse, you the listening tree
and he the barking dog,

or perhaps to a religious group but
you shy away because of their number
and you might as well at the end be the
subject of their gossip
in town for a week or so,

and so you become a catholic again
on a Sunday before your parish priest
you kneel down and confess your sins,
and your dismay the priest says,
'
my son these are not sins anymore
under the new doctrines
with an ending, don't worry my boy
you'll do penance just the same
say three our fathers and three hail Mary's
and don't come back

your sins are the same as mine'

what comfort is this, when sins are confessed
to a person on the same misery and guilt as we are.

Seema-Boundary

I have made net as permanent home
Come across with many people and welcome
It does not me any solution to my worries
As I am in urgent need and in hurry

You seem to be religious
Your statement is really ambiguous
How come you are here for many hours?
Generally relation turn here very soar

I saw her virtually crying and in tears
She had lots of worries and unfounded fears
Her husband was dead for two years
She waited for that sweet voice to hear

I consoled her to be little patient
She must be living in past and not present
It is very difficult to forget dear and near ones
As this feeling can’t be shared by anyone

I am very good at face reading
I have not used it for any kind of trading
It has come through after years of experience
I can go through eyes and submit without variance

I saw her very knowledgeable and bold
She had vast experience but gone very cold
The death of her husband had nearly killed her
She was alone, lonely and so much to bother

I saw deep scars of face which were indicative of great struggle
I could guess she might have passed through ordeals with trouble
She had remained unperturbed but fully shaken
She was not in her control and fully mistaken

She would miss a lunch or dinner
Prepare it for orphan child who lived very near
This was her only satisfaction and aim
She wanted peace for departed soul without name

She was baking enough this before
She discontinued it after his death therefore
She has no where to go but remain in oblivion
This is her own world or you can call it pavilion

Forgive And Forget

Forgive and forget as I've been told
That query keeps coming to my mind
As 'I forgive' is the easiest words for one to say
But to forget, to me it seems like a crime.
To forget the evils that someone has done
Or even the evils or lies that they had spoke
To walk away as they never had accrued
As though to have a nightmare and never to awoke.
When we were young we are taught by our elders
To forgive the trespasses against us one and all
We must forget the pain and suffering that we felt
And must lock that away behind our own brick wall.
The lies and the evils that were done to us,
Even by friends and the ones who we had loved
We must then say that I forgive you one and all
And to some, that forgiveness is not even enough.

Forgive and forget those words we have heard
Even the bible does speak the same
To forgive the sins that were committed against us all
And so against no one can we ever curse or blame.
Sometimes though it seems like in this life
The wrong doers are always asking to forgive and forget
And then the moment that you smile and accept their request
They attack you, and they feel no sadness or regret.
Forgiving sometimes it is so very hard to do
And then to forget that person of their evil deeds
While trying not to remember what they have done to you
While wishing in them, you once again could believe.
Now as I think about my very own past
Of all the wrongs and evil deeds to me I must accept
I read that forgiveness is mine so said the Lord
So now I toss the evils done to me off to forgive and forget.
