MY DEAR FRIEND

To you a sweet and special friend
with this poem my thoughts i send,
I thought I'd tell you just how much
by meeting you my life was touched.

I was forever looking down and out
all I knew was how to shout,
To curse and point others' sin
to be to all so very mean.

But when you entered my life and light
I can't tell, how much I've been a sight,
you stood by me when I cared for nothing
you backed me up when my life was soothing.

You wrapped me in your loving arms
and with a smile you gave me charms,
If I need you, you promised you'd be
everywhere I looked and everywhere I'd see.

Why you wanted me as your friend?
Why you helped my hurts to mend?
you told me, you got me for free
But I know, you did this for me.

Friend, you are an angel, it is true
thanks for loving me, as to others you do,
Because you answered my heart's call
I wish a friend like you to each and all...

GO WITH THE FLOW

If the sky above seems cloudy
and you are let out in the rain,
If you are searching for a rainbow
but the colours bring you pain.

If your world is not revolving
and there is no end in sight,
If you are looking for sunshine
but all you see is only night.

If all around you are smiling
but all you can do is frown,
If you are tired of all this living
when life just brings you down.

Then look beyond your teardrops,
at the wonders of this land,
The beauty of a flower
like the world in your hand.

Remember scenes of beauty
in your heart's base,
Feel the nature around you
as she kisses your face.

Seek the good within you
cast the clouds from your sky,
Don't look at the earth
but hold your head up high.

Think not what life owes you
but of all you have to give,
Forget about tomorrow
then you can start to live.

Bless this age you are living in
with the gifts you can bestow,
Don't disregard the stream of life
Just go gently with the flow...

CAN YOU HELP

I read the dictionary and started dreaming
The next thing I remember is I got up screaming.
When the English tongue we speak
Why is break not rhymed with freak?
Will you tell me then why it’s true,
We say sew just the same like few.

And the maker of "verse",
Cannot rhyme "horse" with "worse"?
"Beard" is not the same as "heard",
"Cord" is different from the "word",
If "cow" is cow, then why not "low" is laow,
Tell me why "shoe" is never rhymed with "foe"?

Think of comb with tomb and bomb,
And think of doll with roll and home with some.
And since "pay" is rhymed with "say",
Why not "paid" with "said" I pray?
Think of blood with food and good,
Then why "mould" is not pronounced as "could".

Why done and gone differ from lone
Is there any reason known?
The fight of "to" and "go" is old,
But never to us the reason is told.
To sum up all, it seems to me
Sounds and letters do not agree...

MEMORY LANE

The cold fresh air, the silent breeze,
The place where we learnt what engineering meant.
The memories flood our imagination
Of the memorable years here spent.

Memories of the days when
Hostels were a home away from one.
Where we shared our room and joys,
Sorrows and dreams of what we would become.

Friends taught us the perfection of
The mechanism of what we call life.
Those bunks and road trips to nowhere,
That last minute examination strife.

The result days when nothing was
As it had earlier seemed to be.
But despite the shocks and dissappointments
In our friends' eyes we could winners see.

The late night goofs and games of card
And concern for the next mischievious technique.
The jokes that only we could understand,
There's something great in the college's mystique.

Its ironic how we came to study here
Its just engineering what we see.
But somewhere in that process discovered,
The kind of human beings we would eventually be...

YOUR SPECIAL ANGEL

I am your special angel,
On orders from above.
To see that as a child of God
You receive special Love.

God sent me down to find you
I knew exactly where to look.
For your name is written down
In His big address book.

He said I'd recognize you,
From your tiny turned up nose.
You'd have two shell like ears
Complete with two ear lobes.

He then gave me a choice
Of your left ear or your right.
He said I could stay in either one
To be with you day and night.

If your ear begins to tickle
From the flutter of my wings.
Remember I am an angel
And angels do these things.

Now if you get to feel sad
Or kind of feeling scare.
Just tug upon your earlobe
I promise to be there.

I'll come straight to your help
Because that's my job to do.
God thinks you're very special
That's why he sent me to care for you...

DO IT TODAY

Drop a pebble in the water,
Its ripples will reach out far.
And the sun-beams dancing on,
May reflect them to a star.

Give a smile to someone passing,
Thereby making his morning glad.
It may greet you in the evening,
When your own heart may be sad.

Do a deed of simple kindness,
Though its end you may not see.
It may be like widening ripples,
Dawn a long eternity...

PROMISE ME

Do not stand upon my grave and weeep
Do me a favour and let me sleep.
I won't be there, by your side forever
But when you close your eyes, you'll find us together.
My body and my heart may not survive
But memories of my life will always be alive.
Read my mind and get in deep
You'll find million dollar words and promises to keep.

Life is not what you speak and live
It is all what you get and give.
If your heart is true and spirits' high
You'll be alive even after you die.
Spread the message of love and admire
You'll get the love you desire.
Share the sorrows, share the smiles
You can carry love for millions of miles.
If you miss me, then look around you
You'll find me in the smiles that'll come for you.
Once I die, remember the promises to keep
Do not stand upon my grave and weep...
