Lost Purpose

We live in this most advanced ,complex world

Tall glass buildings,grand fly overs & fancy cars

Yet, we fail to notice the hungry homeless

Begging for our attention to get by each day

IPods, iPads, iphones in every street corner

We are busy browsing our smart gadgets

Live tweets, facebook updates to the world

Yet, we don’t stop and say hello to our neighbor



We Spend hours surfing and chatting online

Catching up with long lost high school friends

Yet, we don’t ask our spouse how her/his day is

Watching reality shows, singing competitions

And dancing stars are our new pass times

Yet, we don’t see the wars in our own back yards

To take care the jobless, helpless & the addicted



We champion the freedom to speak, demonstrate

As a human right, yet we accept the dictators

Around the world as it is their norm, culture

We live in a society every wants to be famous

Yet, no one wants to work hard to achieve it



We live in a place where we make dishwashing liquid

Using environmentally friendly, organic real lemons

Yet, lemonade for kids with artificial flavors & sugars

We shed millions on supplements and diet programs

Yet, fail to include fresh fruits and veggies to our diet



Isn’t that long a go we cut own grass, walked the dogs

Grew our vegetable garden, milked our own cows

Attended church every Sunday and prayed for world peace?

We live in a such a world that we embrace new technology

To divide us over land, race, skin color,politics and religions

We have forgotten the ultimate truth of existence

All things must die, regardless of their purpose

Life is a chance..

Life is a chance, take it now or never

Life is a challenge, face it with courage

Life is gift, unwrap it and enjoy what is inside

Life is a tragedy; give it time , sorrows will heal

Life is pain, one must suffer to undersatnd it

Life is lonely, have faith, you will find your soul mate

Life is full of frustration, let it go, answers will come

Life is a mystery, pay attention, you will miss out

Life is love, feel it and spread it around

Life is a puzzle, can snap you wide awake

Life is struggle, hope is there to life your spirit

Life is full of unexpected; it can grab you any time

Life is depressing, can wake you from your sleep

Life is tears,need to cry out loud to let go of the pain

Life is trust, easy to loose harder to earn

Life is just a tease, don’t take it too seriously.

Life is awesome, see it, feel it embrace it

Life is precious; don’t let anyone take it from you

Life is beautiful, cheer up; it’s yours to play with

Life is fun, feel the music, dance to the beat

Life is whatever you think of it. And everything you think of it

Life is what you make of it and what you say of it.

Life is all about you and how you treat it

You like it, you hate it. Well, it’s all up to you

Life is you so be careful how you describe it

A friend is ...

A friend is someone who understands your past, believes in your future, and accepts you just the way you are.

We're born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we're not alone.” ---Orson Welles ---

Life is partly what we make it, and partly what it is made by the friends we choose.---Tennessee Williams --

Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Just walk beside me and be my friend.----Albert Camus---

Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another, 'What! You too? I thought I was the only one-- C.S. Lewis---

The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch swing with, never say a word, then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation that you ever had


You are the same today that you are going to be in five years from now except for two things: the people with whom you associate and the books you read.----Charles Jones---


One measure of friendship consists not in the number of things friends can discuss, but in the number of things they need no longer mention.--Clifton Fadiman---


Sometimes being a friend means mastering the art of timing. There is a time for silence. A time to let go and allow people to hurl themselves into their own destiny. And a time to prepare to pick up the pieces when it's all over.---Gloria Naylor---


Friendship marks a life even more deeply than love. Love risks degenerating into obsession, friendship is never anything but sharing.----Elie Wiese---


You learn to like someone when you find out what makes them laugh, but you can never truly love someone until you find out what makes them cry


Truly great friends are hard to find, difficult to leave, and impossible to forget


A hug is worth a thousand words. A friend is worth more.




Best friends are there for you even if you refuse to talk to them. Because they know, deep down, the silence is killing you



Friendship isn't a big thing - it's a million little things.



Things change and friends leave and life doesn't stop for anybody.


Friendship must never be buried under the weight of misunderstanding



Friendship is like a glass ornament; once it is broken it can rarely be put back together exactly the same way.  

In Life...

In your life, you meet people. Some you never think about again. Some, you wonder what happened to them. There are some that you wonder if they ever think about you. And then there are some you wish you never had to think about again. But you do.

To My Brown Eyed Friend

Beautiful brown eyes with a funky hair

Pretty smile & squeaky voice is there

It’s so hard to ignore your cute stare

You're very rare friend to spare.....

Always have a nutrition find to share

Gluten free & no MSG food you prepare

You’re Sweet, sensitive, caring & funny

It’s your gentle, loving and kind ways

Gives me the utter joy to be freinds..

It’s your laid back style & optimism

Reminds me of the good times are ahead

I may be too young to offer you comfort

But I will tell you this my sweet friend

When ever you’re sad or feeling blue

I swear to God, I'll be here for you.

To hold your hand and give you hugs

I hope these stormy days will go away

Many more happy times are on the way

I just wrote this poem to lift your day

Now, may I have my smoothie coconut free?

Away from me

I close my eyes

To find in a dream

To be with you

For a while

Beautiful memories

About our past,

Just like the blue sky

Will be there always

In my mind..

For as long as I live

My love for you

I always feel

In my heart

Will never say

You are away from me . 



I wish I can be like the ocean..

I wish I can be like the ocean

Constant waves go up & down

Whistling sounds pleasant to hear

It sings ,screams, cries and growls

All at once.. yet, no one complains..

It gives birth, nourishes and carries life

Far away places I can only imagine..

Takes all in.. good, bad and the ugly

no judgments passed or questions asked

Fearless, adventurous & carefree

Ocean.. ..please take me with you

I want to float to a land of hope

Where There’s no hate, hurt or in-justice

on Judgement

My dearest mother

                        

You’ve given me life

You’ve shown me kindness

You’ve taught me compassion

You’ve proven me resilience

Above all you taught me love

Because of you

I am who I am today

It’s your sacrifices

Made me strong

It’s your courage

Made me think

It’s your dream

I live today

I hope it’s worth it

Things you did not do

Places you did not go

People you did not spend time

I know its all for me

We fight, we yell

We forgive, we make up

I hope you know

How grateful I am

To have you in my life

I hope you know

I love you forever and always



Class Room Memories

 

I was the happy clown who made every one laugh

I was the tomboy who did not care for the boys

I was the brave who stood up to mean girls

I was the fool who got punished for helping the weak

I was the curious who asked the weird questions

I was the poet who got picked on for being creative

I was the observer who always sat in the last raw

Time has flown by I am still the same cheerful clown

Putting a smile to the people who struggle through life
