Life We Live Is The Blessing

Give!
Do not worry about the getting.
Offer!
The life we live is the blessing.
To acknowledge this...
Invites gifts received.
Like happiness unwrapped,
From its package.
At twice the price one pays.

Receiving This to Give As Given Is a Blessing

The less space one has,
With less things to clutter it...
To consume the mind in denial,
Leaves one with more life to live.

And in 'that' acceptance of a nothingness,
Others may perceive as an unbearable sacrifice...
One has 'everything' to experience and share.

Since those with points of view of materialsm,
Aren't there to busy a mind in peace.
To diminish happiness with expensive needs,
To qualify teased 'wants' delusioned.

Life then becomes such an abundant experience.
And receiving this to give as given,
Is a blessing to comprehend and acknowledge.

The tree

Waving its branches in a blissful mood
It invites us to acknowledge Nature's splendid blessing
Laden with golden, silver, purple, white, and crimson fruits
Yet very humble and decent
A great example for man
It's roots take rest in the heart of the earth
The foundation of life
And the source of clean and pure breath
Extending its benifits to each and everyone.

Offerings to God

What shall I give my Maker – God,
Who formed me man, woman from clay,
And breathed life, precious into it,
To live my days on earth, all fit.

What shall I offer Almighty,
Whose special love for me, made me,
The clay vessel that’s filled to brim –
An instrument of His hand – Him!

How shall I then repay His love,
That made me human being with
A soul divine to understand
The Creator’s heart, full of love?

How can I give just gifts I got
As blessings from the Supreme One?
All things that I can offer Him
Seem silly and of less import!

There isn’t a priceless thing I have,
Except the talents, He gave me;
So, let me offer my labor,
And do my duty, God-centered.

O God of Heavens, sky and earth!
Give me the wisdom and patience
To serve You better all my life,
And join You in Eternity!

Instead of Being Derelict

We have come to offer.
Not equip to dissect.
Humanity is a blessing received.
Not to subject for reasons to reject.

A neglect respect reflects.
With a victimizing that affects,
All aspects of life.
To project with a focus,
Which way is right...
Does not feed everyone's appetite.
Nor makes a slumber done,
More fulfilling when someone...
Says they are able to do that better at night.

And 'who' are 'we' to come to offer?
An experiment.
A test.
With an insight given,
To honor and protect.

And the Creator of us all...
Is in a better position to correct.
IF we obey AND accept...
Instead of being derelict!

The Gift

The gift lay unwrapped,
you didn't want to open.
You knew the kind of thing
he'd give and want response.

The power lay with you now,
the power not to unwrap,
see, and give praise or care.
Your cupboard is chock full
of unwanted gifts, lying there.

His Argument

when life has nothing more to offer to myself
what do you think should i offer to you?
when i have nothing
what is it that i can give you?
when i have nothing to gain
or lose
what is it that i must fear about death
when life itself has become my own sentence
my own death
my own end
why should i love it? why should i live it with you?
when you have nothing too
when we both have nothing to give and nothing to offer
shall we ever forget and forgive?

that is perhaps the reason of the explosion
explosive answers to explosive questions

A wish to remain and last

Why not? we are happy nation
Stable and young without any doubt or question
Harmony and peace in every relation
I have every reason to feel satisfied with elation

I feel part and parcel of one package
We are capable and able to manage
All our internal and external affairs
No to cause concern in any matters

What a tradition to offer and follow?
No deviation or drift to allow
World as one family to profess and practice
How do we stand for it and feel very nice?

We have every reason to feel its pulse
Every negative ideas we repulse
Not to indulge in intimidation and threat
Always warmth in relation when we embrace and greet

We stand on our own feet
Not to beg and not to let
Offer a hand of friendship as point of strength
Love to live in peace with same wave length

We as nation may not budge
From our stated position with any grudge
We have no intention to indulge
But to cement the bond and gulf the bridge

What else do we stand for and live?
What have we to show and leave?
Not to cause concern and relieve
Peace and harmony always believe

I raise my head with pride and faith
It won’t be changed till the death
I have every reason to feel great
The goal an d aim is already set

Why I worry for what to offer?
We are one and never differ
Why I worry for what country could not do?
What I could not do is equally true
