What happens, when?
When high hopes dash against hope,
When the path breaks on tight rope,
When loose balance and fall from high slope,
Disillusion and failure when loves elope,
Leads to think different
When nations fail to reach destiny,
Hopeless situation when rise in mutiny,
Misrule and corruption when add to tyranny,
With big nations or island tiny,
Emerge a strong by merging many.
When high wind blow and storm the land,
Colossal loss, destruction, everything out of hand,
Sea waves rising and breaching the wall,
Waters gush in and civilization fall,
Rush for prayers and divinity call,
Love loose tail and hatred spread,
Fight break out for want of bread,
Garbage all over but DDT not sprayed,
Faith lost and respect cause betrayed,
Anarchy, killing firmly dealt and stayed,
Toxics affluent added to river water,
Poisoning with pollute and course alter,
Destruction all over as human kind falter,
Global warm up and seasons hotter,
Bring them closer for something better
When nothing happens as we wish,
Why to catch in water even plenty fish,
With strong will but ignorance not bliss,
Efforts all out but chance never miss,
Luck may favour and luck lady may kiss

A uniform approach
Everything goes against when tide is not in favor
Real friends too may not side with you and act as savior
This is sad state of mind and we often fail to cope with
It is open secret and snot shrouded in mystery with myth
The high hopes can bally your expectations
You may be forced to cancel the invitations
You may have to rush unexpectedly and feel point of no return
It is beginning of downfall and rough weather has to be faced in turn
You may be banking on friendly support with full surety
The returns may be there without any interruptions or with continuity
Everything may be going on well with no rooms to complain
It is sudden turn of table that may force you to refrain
What happens when high hopes dash against hope?
When you are unable walk on tight rope,
You are likely to loose balance on slope,
Disillusion and failures when love too may elope,
When we fail to reach the goal or destiny
Hopeless situation may arise when arms are up in mutiny,
Misrule and corruption always add up to tyranny
No matter how big nation you are or tiny
When high wind blows it storms the main land
Colossal loss, destruction follows and everything slips out of hand
Sea waves are rising and breaching the wall,
Waters rush in to wash the shore and many civilizations fall
It has happened in the past and may repeat again
All our efforts may not find favor and go in vain
The hardest hit may be your own conscience
it may spoil all your dreams in the presence
Love and harmony may loose tail and hatred may take over
Fight may break out and it will be difficult to find cover
Garbage may spread all over and nothing will be sprayed,
Faith will be lost, diseases may be spread and cause betrayed,
We are ruining our survival and add affluent to water
Blocking the natural flow and course also alter
How can we remain worry free when everything goes in disfavor?
We can do nothing except to watch and murmur
when nothing happens as we have wished?
We are in despair feel as if finished
Why to go for catch when there are plenty of fishes?
Why not avail all chances before they disappear or vanish?
Strongest ton survive and weakest to disappear
Agony and pain always to tolerate and bear
There is no other success story we are prepared to hear
You got to fight it out without shedding tears

All hopes against hope
All hopes dash against hopes
It is like tight walking on simple ropes
We may counter stiff resistance at high slope
Bonding may not be possible even if you elope
Power suddenly may fail and hopes may dash
Life too can end if you make driving rash
Business too may fail with crunch in cash
Credit may be lost even if you attempt fresh
With slow rising of Sun dark clouds may go
Money lenders may relent and make debt to forgo
All good sign and luck may be smiling again
Life should start fresh with little gain,
Nothing goes wrong with smooth sailing,
Sentence may not be severe even fail in bailing
Failure in vigilance may result in trailing,
Gain will be more with best opportunity availing,
Future may be disappointing and chances fade away
Life is live game and not as children play
Things may turn wrong even with trying of best efforts
Luck will not smile even when you have good rapports
Sun may go up with its destined time
Target we should set as our object prime
Luck may not favor but not let us down,
Plant will come up when seeds are sown

All dreams not come true###(in 500)
All dreams may not come true
All credits due may not accrue
But with true reflection in mind
Ideas newer and newer may emerge and find
though may not be the nature too so kind
Dreaming in day time is not at all good
Good thoughts and efforts work as food
Earnest efforts to come out of wood
Failure may stun and you loose the hope
Still not difficult to walk on tight rope
It is not bad to dream for high sky
Speak always truth and do not lie
You may not have wings to fly
Still nothing wrong to work and try
No need to think or needlessly cry
You must have third sense to rise
All acts should be sensible and wise
Rise and fall is part of the game
Goal and ideas you must frame
No use trying luck or fate to blame
What ever you do must be with resolve?
Take full blame and never try to absolve
Put in best efforts to come out and solve
Full dedication and make everybody to involve
Try to mix with all as soluble dissolve
Despite put in best efforts it may not materialize
Failure may be sure but we may not visualize
All draw backs reasons before us but can’t analyze
Complete system may run into trouble and paralyze
Still strive very hard to see the reason and synchronize
Complete days routine and reflections of day’s thoughts
In night, thoughts clash and hard won battles are fought
Freedom and joy sincerely thought and brought
Stealing in day time but not easily caught
Simply night dreaming when lying in the cot
Continue to seek solution in dream,
Energy not focused but travel in beam
Try very hard and work as team,
Good efforts in direction but not as power game
Not letting any opportunity with excuses lame
So I find easy way to seek refuge in night
Lie low and have good say without light
more and more attention I try to pay
Always hope to find way in form of ray
washing shores with water at feet of bay.
Life doesn’t end with setting of day
Sun may rise again with bright ray
Your hopes may be high and tall
Vast horizon may lie open for all
Try for success without any fall
Come what may be the slogan
Life and opportunities may begun
Nothing to loose with worth attempt
Sometimes you may gain with action prompt

The storm that hangs threatening
From Margate beach
I see a ship sailing past,
with people that are
dots on it.
The summer sun is hot and high
but there’s a strong wind
that swishes over the sea
and waves that like white spectre horses,
curl and twist and rise foaming
and shattering
fall to death against rocks and the beach
On the horizon grey clouds hang ominous,
where a storm is rising
and the sky breaks the water.
I am caught up in a life
that is broken into pieces
and I wonder when
the storm is going to overwhelm me.

Act before it is lost
Can lame scale the highest peak?
If God is pleased, even if he is weak
When mentally retarded can understand and speak?
You can retain your position even if others try to break
If God is merciful then everything is possible
Dead can come to life and strong can crumble
The land may turn infertile and there won't be any trace
We will face the destruction if fallen out of grace
People loose the faith when caught in cross fire
They had so far not prayed almighty and admired
It was their uncommitted faith that had kept them alive
They were in this world even if they did not believe
God doesn't disgrace those who are non believer
Even though they are burden on earth and unable to deliver
There may be hardly few or to be found in some section
We can never appreciate or digest their reaction
They don't come into terms and realize of their well being
They may be ruling on vast land with authority as king
They may be cruel on their subjects and not very kind
We have seen and witnessed their down fall like that of wind
One final blow may unseat them all
There won't be any escape even if they pray and call
The wind may deliver final blow with possible rout
No one will come to know about their fate or where about
Have you witnessed the sea turning rough during journey?
Can any one bring it under control with the help of money?
Who can come to your rescue when it is shot sure to sink?
Only prayers and good work if you had maintained the link
He is there to protect us all the time and in crisis
There is no particular science or thesis
It is firm belief and total faith towards almighty
He is there to smile on us without any pity
The showers can down pour with all its force
You may be waiting for its arrival with remorse
You may loose the path even if carefully chosen
Relation may sever and stand always frozen
Stay ablaze from within but pretend very calm
Go on seeding with pouring of water in farm
It will not grow fully until it showers heavily
You may come to sense when it grows really
This is how you come into being and grow with confidence
He is always there to avoid any unpleasant incidence
You may still deny His existence and walk on barren land
You may live here aimlessly without any friend

Sliding on the slope
You enjoy while sliding on slope
You fear while walking on rope
You fees sad when hear “nope”
Still you go ahead with all high hopes
Hope should not lead to inaction
It must reflect your resolute action
You never plan for catching a sun
Or for that part glamorize the moon
It is building up of desire on sound footing
You should not face later on insult and hooting
It is going to be your life time achievement
You should add and plan for glorious moment
Hope is not merely calculation
Your mind speaks with some revelations
It has opened up all the barriers
You are acting as an extension of carrier
Hope can belie your expectations
But that does not amount to your disqualification
You may plan and can aim higher
You will have a dream of flier
Not all the fruits can be plucked
Not all the claims can be staked
You have to gradually assess and build
Taking all the risks under the powerful shield
It may not off set your complete balance
Even if that is not achieved at once
You can pick the thread from stretch
Any possible opportunity by all means to catch
You may feel setback but not disillusion
As you had embarked not with confusion
It was well planned drive sure for success
It is bad luck you could not gain access
Did you ever notice ants going up and falling?
Carry weight again and again without calling
The weight is double of her size and capacity
But it is done with slow action and continuity
Even animals have third sense to prepare
Keep everything in readiness and compare
All moves to be complete we in advance
So there is no fear of failure at once
You are not supposed to be only idealistic
You should have well prepared statistics
You contemplate action with all known basics
And make bold move on the strong basis
Merely looking towards sky can take us no further
It will worsen the situation altogether
It has to be matched with available resources
Then must be driven in that direction with equal force
It has always proved fruitful with careful planning
It might have invited some setbacks or failure at the beginning
It must reassure you in the mind that repeated efforts may bring some result
So concerted efforts must be made on strong base already built

Id Rather Be Strong

Its a sad situation
Alot of hopeless information
On the news
Nothins gonna please you
And nothins gonna change

So many hungry people
Its a shame and is it legal?
Well its a sight
Theres something goin on
Somethin we can change

So Id rather be strong
In a hopeless situation, yes
I would rather be strong
In a hopeless situation, yes

In a hopeless situation
Yes I would, yes I would
Well you can say its a shame
And things remain the same
And so it goes
But no ones gonna hear you
And no ones gonna see
What doesnt show
Itd be cause for celebration
If only every nation understood
And helping one another
And doing for the other, what they could
And Id rather be strong
In a hopeless situation, yes
I would rather be strong
And to show determination, yes
I would rather be strong
In a hopeless situation
Yes I would, yes I would
Id be a lot better off if I could
Be part of the love
Thats seemingly lost from above
A delicate situation (situation)
Requires contemplation, everyone (everyone)
And someone has to care (someone to care)
When people live in fear of each mans son (each mans son)
So Id rather be strong
In a hopeless situation
Yes, I would rather be strong
In a hopeless situation
Yes, I would rather be strong
In a hopeless situation
Yes, I would, yes, I would
Id be a lot better off if I could
Be part of the love
Thats seemingly lost from above
Id rather be strong, ooh yes, I would
Well, Id rather be strong, yes I would, yes I would, yes I would
Well, Id rather be strong, ooh yes I would
Well, Id rather be strong, be strong, yes I would, yes I would

Backlash
Neither had I feared a backlash
Nor attempted to make eye wash
Wished smooth passage and no down fall
Prayed almighty not to face any distress call
Childhood passed off easily under the protection
Parents looked after well without my action
I was lucky to have their protective shield
Seeds were growing and offering high yield
Horizon seemed to me vast and open
Blue sky and earth were no less than heaven
I could think of major leap forward
Acts of brave person and not that of coward
I had to be reasonably alert and cautious
World and people around seemed to be vicious
Making headway was concern and cause of worry
Still it did not bother as I was not in hurry
I had to learn a lot from rising sun
Reaching on the top without making run
Not to fall back from destiny under slight pretext
It was high time to undergo vigorous test
Let it not prove as difficult task
Honest dealing without putting on mask
I may suffer heavily on this count
Difficulties may surface and pressure mount
I shall withstand the waves and shocks
Sea waters may rush and knock at the rocks
Will do everything to wither the storm
Brave front always to remain in form
Luck or no luck but can weaken the spirit
Best efforts should be made on merit
We may face down fall or momentary setback
It may teach lessons from the drawbacks

Pursuit On 53rd Street
Tom johnston
On a cross-town bus in the city
I spied a lady all dressed in black
High heeled shoes and her dress cut loose
Her front was saggin out on the rack
I believe, I believe
That the ladys gonna bring me luck
I believe, I believe
That the ladys gonna bring me luck
Driver, wont you stop this crazy machine
And let my feet out and touch the ground
Got to lay me a line on the lady
Before she walks down the street too far
I believe, I believe
That the ladys gonna bring me luck
I believe, I believe
That the ladys gonna bring me luck

From Hopelessness to Hope By: Cay Thorne
Some people have a lot of hope
Some have a little hope in their lives
Some have just a good moment of hope to live on
Some just don’t believe in hope
In war there is hope
Hope for peace and love between everyone
Peace for all weapons of man to be destroyed
Which starts wars and hatred
Hope equals opportunities
Opportunities that starts with courage
Courage that begins with self esteem
Self esteem that begins with confidence
Confidence in self begins with hope
Hope begins with self love
Love begins with self confidence
Self confidence that begins with kindness
Kindness is a key to love
Love is hope within your life
Life without love is hopeless
No matter the size or quality
Of love given and received
Life with self doubt
Is an unhealthy life
A life full of hopelessness
A hopelessness that can destroy
A disaster that can end a perfect strong life
Full of love faith and hope
A life which isn’t full of demons and fears
Demons and fears that eat;
That eats at your very soul
Like an inoperable cancer
A soul which can be purer;
Purer by faith and love
That leads to self confidence
Within which leads to high self esteem
A self esteem that equals God’s
God’s never ending faith and love for you
God’s belief in you is worthy;
Worthy of total happiness and love
Happiness which destroys hatred
Hatred that can cause self destruction
Destruction on all levels of self
Only way to conquer self destruction
Is by having love, peace and faith in yourself
Faith in your self to change no matter the size
Peace to guard you through hard times
Love is a beacon of God’s belief and trust in you
Kindness that destroys all self-hopelessness.
A hopeless world can cause war
War causes death of self belief within yourself
The only way to cure
This unwanted monster
On hopelessness is yourself
Is to believe in love, faith and peace
And in a major thing within God
Which we find peace, faith, love and hope
For all mankind, animals and everything on Earth
Hope from God kills hopelessness
Its up to us with God’s help
To destroy our own hopelessness
In every single aspect of ourselves.

Act live with motto
What can you expect from dead?
Can we expect anything from dead head?
Blinds can’t come to the forefront and lead
It is quite impossible to understand and read
We shut our eyes and pretend ignorance
Luck and chance comes in life only once
If we can’t judge properly and take the decision
It will be inaccurate and without precision
We must act live and with some motive
Full participation by remaining very active
Humble approach with firmness but submissive
Full of enthusiasm and presenting it live
No trace will be there when we leave
No one may agree to what we did or believe
It is like building castles in the sand
May come down like pack of cards with current trend
We live with body but without soul
Distrust all and smell the foul
It is to be trusted and trust
We are on earth like ordinary guest
We have shortest tenure with limited span
To finish it fast without guidance or plans
Where will be time to judge and assure?
We will have to make it doubly sure
Life is dull if there is no goal or aim
You can’t thrust on luck and claim
It requires lot of efforts with dedication
Success with honor may give you good indication
Dead can’t rise from grave
You got to be very firm and brave
If dead could deliver the result
Why don’t we go to them for advice and consult?
It is high time to act as per vigor and strength
We must throw whole weight and go to any length
It is not the game but strong resolve to fight
To come out from the dark to find the ray of light
Only dead don't fight and offer the resistance
You must go all out or correct insistence
The success may not elude but come on the way
Keep off from wrong illusion and have final say
Sea waves may remain calm amidst strong wind
Heavy underneath current but weather very kind
It is destiny that awaits the decisive blow
Nothing can stop you even furious river with water flow
Calm down when time permit and stand again
Claim the credit and strike again and again
Clouds will have to disappear for bright sun shine
It may be wise on our part to feel always fine
Who can rejoice or laugh at failure?
Who can convert it in to success for sure?
Fortune can favor only the strong and brave
Cowards may bow more and simply cave

You go alone
You go for self and wait for none
Fight it out all but one
You may loose path but never be afraid
River may change path and course not straight
Consider it struggle and not path simple,
Task you may have but not opportunity ample,
Life may be game even worst than the gamble,
It may be acid test ………….
Make earnest effort and try very hard,
Life may even last as you grow old,
Youngsters may cut joke and laugh also elder,
Task may get tough as you spread wider,
It may be harder than even Herculean,
You may bogged down and not come clean,
Dark clouds may appear making more thunder,
You may loose heart and fear more plunder
Goal may be off and you may still wonder,
What will be in store? Question you may ponder?
It may hurt you more as ground seems look,
Not to loose composure but come out of hook
In peace you strive more for good result,
Chances may look deem facing more insult,
You may feel shame and not even consult,
It will give pain such as somersault,
If you sweat more less you may bleed
Stormy weather may pass without any read
Time is precious luck you may need,
Best efforts to be put while sowing seed,
You are always master but not go for rest,
Give hope a chance and try for best,
You may not fail but pass the entire test,
Strange are the ways but not last more,
You may have you faced task this before,
Never to contend with less but try more and more
Put your best efforts with new areas explore
Why to go alone and not efforts combine?
Success may come but not result fine,
No sincere effort but only little cry
Empire may be lost with half hearted try
You will need full attempt while acting tough,
Fall you may have on surface rough
Aim always high and inch still forward,
Face all odds and never fall backward,
Put brave front and not withdraw as coward
Success may touch your feet as full reward
Life is worth to live and is biggest award
Try for best and always look forward
You may heave sigh and feel also relief,
It may augur well and strengthen your belief,
Beginning will be little hard as fresh leaf,
Success story may speak and heard by deaf

Rain delay
Rain is uncertain and delayed,
Weather forecast and message relayed,
Days are very hot and in home stayed,
Gloomy picture and everybody dismayed,
Hot season with frequent power cuts,
No good service and “if” and “buts”
Sun rays direct in my holed huts,
No means but forced to stay puts,
Rain God is displeased with world,
Wastage of water more with relation cold,
Fight for water in many parts,
People store more and look so smart,
Whole world economy is in disarray,
If monsoon is delayed and little away,
Earth is torn apart with surface dry,
As if newly wed bride making cry,
If request to be made then with strong resolve,
No wastage of water with problem solve,
Stopping and storing efforts involve,
Not polluting it with chemical dissolve,
Ozone depletion may invite the trouble,
Many diseases with medicines incurable,
Unseasonable rains with devastating flood,
Destruction everywhere with spilling blood,
Stopping of water flow at dam’s site,
Inviting the wrath from local's fight,
Are we not depriving their statutory rights?
Deserting fields for proving the light
Why do we want to perish the mankind?
Unhygienic waste in water with method unkind,
Never in other countries violation of rules,
Buffalos and cows take bath with bulls,
High rise in temperature with heat waves,
Diseases many to spread and way paves,
Are we not digging our own grave?
Greed and lust and just to crave,
Sometimes in abundance and sometime scarce,
Tidal waves rise high and land coerced,
Houses washed and population flee,
Nature’s fury we understand but can’t see

I Was Under The Water
A feeling of being free over came me.
Like I was flying high above everything.
I couldnt open my mouth to speak.
The rush of water filled my ears.
The water went in my nose.
The warm waters forgave me.
Brought me peace and joy.
What I didnt know I was under the water.
I was drowning in front of them.
Its too late to fight for air.
Slipping slowly underneath the water.
The last thing I see is you.
Your hands picking me up.
I rise my hand to meet you.
My body gave up.
And the water took my life.
As I wanted it to in the first place.

Don't forget
Whether it love, attachment or infatuation
Remember and don’t forget me in any situation
You may not know how much I care and love you
I take it as sacred to that the name of the Thou
Is it magnetic pull, internal feelings or divinity call?
Person may not mind jumping even high wall
He is sure of everything except his own down fall
Life game is set in with colorful rolling ball
No one knows who will offer blow or first kick
No hard hitting with sweet promises to stick
If no success in life then hard wounds to lick
What will be left other than words to speak?
I have strong apprehensions in mind
Life may turn cruel and will not be kind
Journey may on but on parallel track
Joy and happiness will never be back
I wish to fly high and touch endless blue sky
Wings are strong enough but won’t be able to touch, why?
Nothing seems to be unfavorable but still may elude
Dreams may be scattered without any prelude
I can face the storm and swim rough sea
I can judge calmness, under current and see
Possible future struggle to get something new
Will it be possible if make concerted bid to renew?
Can you reassure me you shall definitely wait?
Withstand all the pressures and never be late
Embrace me with pure love and not with hate
I shall crash against solid wall or Iron Gate
Your words may infuse new lease of energy and strength
I shall have enough will power to go at any length
It will always remind me of bright hope next day
I shall have endeavor to see future possible way
I may not be able to miss you even if you miss
It will constantly remind of hollow words or promise
I shall die not because of dishonor but with disillusion
Life will be living hell with simple hollowness and confusion
It is how I see the future for both of us?
Many bad thoughts may cross mind and influx
It will be very hard to sustain possible blow
Life may inch toward death not fast but slow
People may not want us to unite
Inflame the passion and slowly ignite
I may sustain any blow or cruelty
It will be then slur on part of beauty
It will not be easy to forget and forgive
Life is not commodity to take and give
It has divine bonds to last for ever
Remember always and forget never

Fly my lovely kite in the rain
wet cloth me in the night, dress me with a
mink that feather my skin; warm my day

fly little kite in the rain, the tail that guide, hide

turmoil breezing skies with dazzling wiggle; just
parting each part with the tearing tail it fall, come
wash out the waiting wet tail in the high above
the land it fly the night may fall, but the rain it
speed up in the tailing sky, as far in a distance
light beneath the horizon of a different

lost as far it could stood, hold where nobody should
fold, in the string the wet kite brings, the neon of
fresh, steer me to find the genuine face where
everybody wish to tie my hand to stay goodbye
soar high my dear kite the sky is wide, easy to
fly, as you surf the heavenly sky, leave no one to
remember that the past has something to say
of how to make it easy, with a heavy tail in the air
weight balance my speed, in the wet it rise,
to the spectrum of the clouds, where you want stay

Lord Of The Storm
Can I walk upon this water
In the midst of this mighty sea
Surely I will stumble, surely I will drown
Oh Lord how can this be
The waves are high and the wind it howls
And the rain it lashes down
Yet you are there, I see you Lord
Now I know I shall not drown
Then the thunder roars and the lightning flashes
High above in the angry skies
Dark clouds rising, set on fire
To them do I lift my eyes
Heavier now the rain is falling
The noise so loud I cannot think
The lightening fractures the sky above
And my legs, they begin to sink
I look around, eyes wide with terror
As all this madness does unfold
I look once more, there, it's Jesus
In the midst of the storm, standing bold
I am your peace when all hell breaks loose
Devils and demons flee
In the storm, in the night, when all breaks down
Remember, keep your eyes upon me.

Miss ', I Really Miss
I was stepping in to become young
I thought it is nice journey but too long
I am afraid and take care not to go wrong
I was expecting everything for song
I am so much influenced by lady smile
She has entered in life just before while’
Life seems to be so interesting and fine
I want to dance on floor with glass of wine
Miss, you can’t be so rude
For a word you have made prelude,
All warmth and affection you have included
Hate and distance you have excluded
I never expected you to cast
All doubts but trust should not last
You were the first to realize it fast
Reality known but never wore any kind of mast,
Your innocence and name is kind to infuse
Kind words for me but not meant to confuse
Time was for decision but you never refused
Always stood at right point and crisis defused
Even amidst delicate moments
You did not offer a word or comments
You were hurt most but you used simple word,
Is it blessings to you or gift from Lord?
I loved you most as your dearest friend
Still you didn’t put any word at the end,
Kept me at dark or asked or any excuse
Used otherwise it as pretext, denied or refused
'Miss' I miss you but you don’t miss,
Did not expect from you kind hug or simple kiss
Not even kind gesture or more of any show
Still I miss you and never beat eye brow
Will this uncertainty remain or go?
Life will be full of remorse but still I would forgo
Is there any restriction from your side or embargo?
You bear always “no entry” smile with logo
You called on me for good luck and best wishes
I remained dead as no water was available for fish,
May be it is very hard to swallow for some reasons
Why then there should be draught without any season?
I was quick to grasp situation,
Avoided unwarranted efforts for persuasion,
Shock was sudden and heavy but came very late,
I did accept it with grace and as part of fate
She didn’t become mine for some reasons
I waited simply for spring season
She too eagerly longed for strong bond
As I was inclined and very fond
She had everything to loose
But she had no option to choose
Why did she take extreme step?
She always used to call me as sweet babe
It may be her way of thinking
It left me high and dry with blinking
What should I call her sacrifice?
A step of dedication or break of promises?

Kingsport Town
The winter wind is blowin strong
My hands've got no gloves
I wish to myself that I could see
The gal I'm thinkin of
Oh do you remember me babe
I remember you quite well
You caused me to leave old kingsport town
With the high sheriff on my trail
High sheriff on my trail boys
High sheriff on my trail
All because I'd fallen for
A curly headed dark-eyed gal
Who's a-gonna stroke your coal-black hair
An sing to your coloured skin
Who's a-gonna kiss your memphis lips
When I'm not in the wings
When I'm not in the wings babe
When I'm not in the wings
Who's a-gonna kiss your memphis mouth
When I'm not in the wings
Who's a-gonna walk you side-by-side
And tell you everythings alright
Who's a-gonna sing to you all day long
And not just in the night
Who's a-gonna walk you side-by-side
Who's a-gonna be your man
Who's a-gonna look you straight in the eye
And hold your bad-luck hand
Hold your bad-luck hand babe
Hold your bad-luck hand
Who's a-gonna hold your hard-luck hand
And who's a-gonna be your man
The winter wind is blowin strong
My hands've got no gloves
I wish to myself that I could see
The gal I'm thinkin of

Achiever
I acknowledge the outcome of efforts
May be it is possible with little support
In case of no moral support what it could be?
Will it be considered as downfall of big tree?
Person who is seized with problems may excel
In adverse situation he or she may stand and prevail
Loss or bad luck can be changed into favour and gain
Less sweat even when efforts fail and go into drain
Person who succeeds is called achiever
Not necessarily he should be firm believer
Should act as master of events and healer
Nothing alters path as ……………….
What are the essential qualities of person?
Should he be master player in all the seasons?
Who can turn the tide and steer the course
Not loosing hope while facing the remorse
Be attentive to others and good listener too
Neither impose will not attempt to woo
Success may have its own way and story
Praises from all thus adding to glory
It’s very hard to pursue goal in adversity
Nothing comes true if you go with simplicity
Bold approach with strong resolve and good quality
Ultimately may earn you respect without any pity
Even what seems to be a difficult task?
Will be made easy and no one may ask
You will have your own way of dealing
Enough energy if required for wound healing
Achievement is entirely due to dedication and zeal
No one can steal the show or put the seal
At the end of journey, luck may smile
Pain may subside even when you walk for while
