O my friends

O my friends,
What can you tell me of Love,
Whose pathways are filled with strangeness?
When you offer the Great One your love,
At the first step your body is crushed.
Next be ready to offer your head as his seat.
Be ready to orbit his lamp like a moth giving in to the light,
To live in the deer as she runs toward the hunter's call,
In the partridge that swallows hot coals for love of the moon,
In the fish that, kept from the sea, happily dies.
Like a bee trapped for life in the closing of the sweet flower,
Mira has offered herself to her Lord.
She says, the single Lotus will swallow you whole.

[Translated by Jane Hirshfield]

Strange Is The Path When You Offer Love

Do not mention the name of love,
O my simple-minded companion.
Strange is the path
When you offer your love.
Your body is crushed at the first step.

If you want to offer love
Be prepared to cut off your head
And sit on it.
Be like the moth,
Which circles the lamp and offers its body.
Be like the deer, which, on hearing the horn,
Offers its head to the hunter.
Be like the partridge,
Which swallows burning coals
In love of the moon.
Be like the fish
Which yields up its life
When separated from the sea.
Be like the bee,
Entrapped in the closing petals of the lotus.

Mira's lord is the courtly Giridhara.
She says: Offer your mind
To those lotus feet.

Get Ready

I never met a girl
That makes me feel
The way that you do
(it's alright)
Whenever I'm asked
It makes me ugly as hell
To say that you do
(Its outta sight)
So fee fi, fo fum
Look out baby, cause here I come.
I'm giving you a love that's true
So get ready, get ready
Gonna try to make you love me too
So get ready, get ready, 'cause here I come
(Get ready, 'cause here I come)
I'm on my way
(Get ready, 'cause here I come)
If you wanna play hide and seek with love
Baby I do
(it's alright)
The lovin' you're gonna miss,
In the time it takes to find you
(it's outta sight)
So fiddley dee, fiddley dum
Look out baby, cause here I come.
I'm giving you a love that's true
So get ready, get ready
Gonna try to make you love me too
So get ready, get ready, 'cause here I come
(Get ready, 'cause here I come)
I'm on my way
(Get ready, 'cause here I come)
So what are my friends supposed to do
Understand it
(It's alright)
As long as I get to you before they do
The way I planned it
(It's outta sight)
So fiddley dee, fiddley dum
Look out baby, 'cause here I come
I'm giving you a love that's true
So get ready, get ready
I'm gonna try to make her love me too
So get ready, get ready, 'cause here I come

Shy and shame

I am hasmukh by name
But still feel shy and shame
Offer very good smile
To live and love little while

Not all may understand
I feel lonely and stand
No friends no relatives or accomplice
No one to praise and offer promise

People are relaxed when visit me
They feel fresh and very much free
I make them burst in laughter
They realize only when come in after

I offer no medicine
I have no ready made vaccine
I know I can grow vegetables in famine
I know how to make friends and consider them mine

Love may not end half way
People will not desert and run away
Smile is powerful weapon
It can be offered to foe even

Only those people can smile and stay
Who have guts to make path in difficult way
Rest can offer forced smile in disguise
They can not make ship to sail or cruise

If you can take away unhappiness for a while
You can restore person a beautiful smile
He will go with full of contentment
Where the chance will be then for discontentment?

Step mother

Is step mother altogether different from real mother?
Every time this question emerges and bothers
Whether real or step mother the vacant place can’t be filled by others
It is woman who has heart to offer as kind feeler or soothers

It is very difficult to offer motherly affection
Hard to swallow bitterness as nothing is left for selection
One has to undergo rapid change and adjust to the situation
To share the grief even if there is real infatuation

You may like and love your own kith and kin
There is no love lost and always wins
You care for love and offer in return
Many things to forgo and many things to learn

Kids need enough care and love from both
you must have allegiance to God even without taking oath
To offer best love and attention at the cost of discredit
Even true love offered may need observation and merit

People will not appreciate good gesture and sacrifice
Motherhood needs recognition and need to suffice
Step mothers are always blamed for nothing
If no good name can be given then at least praise something

What does she get for playing this noble role?
Bad name and discredit for work as whole
Not easy to play role of wife with different approach
Many may meddle in the internal affairs and unnecessarily poke

It is holy task than holier
Many have played the role successfully even earlier
You should be careful and not to be choosey,
Task is not to difficult but not also very easy

It has never been appreciated in past
Apprehensions always persist and doubts cast
Single individual may not live to last it long
Indeed difficult position to be found and appreciated among

Who needs the step mother most?
The children who have dearly lost?
How does husband spend time and at what cost?
What is so important in life and what is must?

Life becomes dull and dry and without any aim
Not a single man will boost happiness or claim
It will be simple word game and all the blames
Whole system will be on fire and flames

Woman bears heavy brunt and finds it difficult
She is at receiving end and has to share the insult
God only knows how she copes with such ordeal?
She is doing tremendous work and makes life real

Lets us pass all the respect which ever is due
We may not know the situation or have any clue
Woman has very big heart with all the kindness and love
We must bow our head and her greatness simply believe

What More? Not Money!

What more can I ask for
What do I need?
What do I want?

All I need is love to live on
All I need is trust to live on
All I need is sense to live on
All I need is someone else's love to live on

Money isn't just everything
It can buy things
But there are some things money can't buy

Money can't buy my parents
No matter how much people offer me billions of dollars for my parents
I will never hand my parents to them
My parents are worth every single thing to me

I need love to go on
The loneliness is something that has a grudge on me
But with love
The grudge is gone

All I need to live on is God
When nobody listens to me
God does
He's always ready to listen
He's always ready to repsond

God is like my father
Who I love and care
Because he cares for my parents
I don't care if he doesn't care for me
Cuz' my parents are my top priority
I'll do anything to not lose them

I don't care about money
Because money comes and go
But love, God, and my parents are with me
No matter where
They're inside me
My fuel energy to live on.

Forgive Me My Love

Forgive me my love
I cannot offer you
the moon and the stars
or even a rainbow
in the sky.

Forgive me my love
I cannot offer you
a crown of a queen
or even a carat
of a diamond ring.

Forgive me my love
I cannot offer you
a thousand of roses
or even a lily
in a winter time.

Forgive me my love
please, forgive me my love
for only this heart of mine
is all I can offer you.

Never Frown, Even When You're Sad Because You Never Know Who May be Falling in Love With Your Smile

Never frown, when you're sad because you never know who may be falling in love with your smile
Deep inside you know there is someone special to be with
Never change yourself just for guy/girl because there is other fish in the sea
You don't need a boyfriend/girlfriend to be happy because
You have your friends and family
You can be single and happy on your own
When you are single you learned thing you never knew before about yourself
You can be brave and try not to think about it
There are good things about being single or being in love
Don't obsession with a guy/girl who break your heart and just move on
Their other people to be with

Never frown, even when you are sad because you never know who may be falling in love with your smile
You are great person and there is someone for you and everyone else too
We all dervese someone special to be with
Never make yourself look cuter just for one guy/girl because
You know better than that and should just love yourself
You know that someone do love you for who you are
On the other hand, some of us don't need someone to be with because
They have thier friends and family
You can enjoy your life and be happier than before
Right now I am single and
I see what people gone through and I'm not ready for that
I know love is not perfect, but I have a lot of rejection and I'm enjoying all of this
I just want to get take it easy, relax and have fun

Never frown, even when you are sad because you never know who may be falling in love with your smile
You know that you can found someone or they come to you
Don't wait, just take chances and just be crazy for once
Remember there is always other fish in the sea and not just that person who break your heart
You don't need a boyfriend/girfriend to be happy because
You have your friends and family
I know I will miss out on all great things, but
I'm tired of bringing my hopes up
I'm done, being single for now and it tragedy at end
There other things can make me happier than ever
There are good things about being single or being in love
Don't obsession with someone who don't love you
Just remeber the good times you have with them

Never frown, even when you are sad because you never know who may be falling in love with your smile
You are great person and
There is someone for you and everyone else too
We all dervese someone special to be with
Never make yourself look cuter just for one guy/girl because
You know better than that and should just love yourself
You know that someone do love you for who you are
On the hand, some of us don't need someone to be with
They have thier friends and family
You can enjoy your life and be happier than before
Right now I am single and
I see what people gone through and I'm not ready for that
I know love is not perfect, but I have a lot of rejection and I'm enjoying all of this
I just want to get take it easy, relax and have fun
Never frown, even when you are sad because you never know who may be falling in love with your smile

Ready For Love

Walkin' down this rocky road
Wondering where my life is leadin'
Rollin' on to the bitter end
Finding out along the way
What it takes to keep love living
You should know how it feels, my friend
Ooh, I want you to stay
Ooh, I want you today
I'm ready for love
Oh baby, I'm ready for love
Ready for love
Oh baby, I'm ready for love
Now I'm on my feet again
Better things are bound to happen
All my dues surely must be paid
Many miles and many tears
Times were hard but now they're changing
You should know that I'm not afraid
Ooh, I want you to stay
Ooh, I want you today

I got a shower curtain stickin to my back
And the od cologne sure packs a whack
I got blood on my razor - my face is in shock
n my hair hangin down like a rastamans locks
I think Im ready - Im gettin ready
Gettin ready teddy - were all gonna have fun
I gotta rock n roll - rocket says you gotta go fast
n the radios blarin out a blast from the past
Lucilles in the back screamin gimme a break
Your momma didnt tell you - thats the chance you take
Its oh so sad
When this love is all that we have
To swallow a lifetime away
With so many hours in each day
But calm your foolish heart
Our girlfriends cant keep us apart
Im with you every step of the way
Baby - what more can I say
The only problem is
I wanna party - get down - boogie - have a great time
Well its 36.50 for a room with a view
O the empire state n the pizza place, too
Lucilles got my body in a total eclipse
Shes all lips n hips - you know - one o those trips
Were gettin ready - shes gettin ready
Gettin ready teddy - were all gonna have fun

Back With A Heart

(olivia newton-john /gary burr)
Every day the pain dies a little
Im not at the end but Im way past the middle
I know when Im all healed up
Ill be back with a heart and ready to love
Good as new or maybe better
So glad to know the tears arent forever
Tears dry and soon enough
Ill be back with a heart and ready to love
Doesnt mean that all the hurt is through
But more and more I think of me
And less and less of you
Oh, youre hard to forget but Im gonna do it
Thought I would die but Im livin right through it
I wont give up so dont call my bluff
Ill be back with a heart and ready to love
No, it doesnt mean that all the hurt is through
But more and more I think of me
And less and less of you
Every day the pain dies a little
Im not at the end but Im way past the middle

Yes, I Am

You never asked me to love you
I did it all by myself
You didnt make me no promises
You read my feelings so well
Chorus
Oh wow wow what youve done for me
Oh wow wow even a fool could see
Oh wow wow what you mean to me
You didnt ask no questions
I wouldnt tell you no lies
I didnt need any answers
They were there in your eyes
Dont stop me from falling
I cant get enough
You took the pain from my body
Now Im ready for love
Yes I am
Ive been alone in the shadows
Too many nights by myself
So many dreams have been shattered
You know the story so well
Chorus
I didnt see no fireworks
And the earth never moved
But when were lying together
Ive got nothing to prove
You gave me your kisses I cant get enough
You put the fire in my heart
And Im ready for love
Yes I am
People try to analyse
They worry is it right
But it really doesnt matter to me
Theres no reason when you really fall in love
'cause you cant stop it
Wont drop it
Dont even think about it
Hold on tight and never let it go
Chorus
You took the pain from my body
And Im ready for love
You took the pain from my body
And Im ready for love
Yes I am ready for love
Yes I am ready for love
Yes I am ready for love
Yes I am

Are You Ready?

Are you ready, are you ready?
Are you ready, are you ready?
Are you ready to meet jesus?
Are you where you ought to be?
Will he know you when he sees you
Or will he say, depart from me?
Are you ready, hope youre ready.
Am I ready, am I ready?
Am I ready, am I ready?
Am I ready to lay down my life for the brethren
And to take up my cross?
Have I surrendered to the will of god
Or am I still acting like the boss?
Am I ready, hope Im ready.
When destruction cometh swiftly
And theres no time to say a fare-thee-well,
Have you decided whether you want to be
In heaven or in hell?
Are you ready, are you ready?
Have you got some unfinished business?
Is there something holding you back?
Are you thinking for yourself
Or are you following the pack?
Are you ready, hope youre ready.
Are you ready?
Are you ready for the judgment?
Are you ready for that terrible swift sword?
Are you ready for armageddon?
Are you ready for the day of the lord?
Are you ready, I hope youre ready.
