They were parents, in vain

There they were, at the back seat,
In the much popular, much awaited 355L,
With bags in hands in the sun's heat,
They got into the bus, pushing and trembling, searching for a seat.

A seat not only for themselves alone,
But seats for the seven daughters that they had grown.
All with smiles and happy faces,
No sign of sadness or hard phases.

I had a look at the parents carefully,
There eyes in pain, the hearts in vain,
With wrinkles on faces, must have been in their early thirties.

Looked as if they had raised their daughters in pain,
But made sure they witnessed not a single strain,
I did not know who they were,
I did not know where they come from,
All I knew was that they were true, had faced a lot, knew life like no one else.

They were parents, were in love with their daughters, but not with life :(

Here I Stand

From the Earth I started,
The sand I met,
The soil I became,
The dust I breathed.

Here I stand, as small, as tiny,
as little as a particle,
Ready to take on the storm,
That should have never come this way.

I walk confident to jump each cliff,
Even though I know the landings are uncertain,
I pray to the almighty to guide me along,
To lead the way and make me strong.

So I can be of benefit to mankind,
The achievement of this dream would fulfill my reason to live.

When LIFE treats You Differently

When your heart is sinking,
and eyes not blinking,
When the love has vanished,
and feelings have been banished.

When you see no one's pain,
except yours, and take strain,
on your mind which keeps thinking,
"What happened that made me go sinking?"

When you know nothing's right,
and the ways are lost,
When you know you've had a fight,
and life's been frost.

You question God
"Why leave me lonely?"
You question God
"What did I do? Please help me"

Just close your eyes
and listen carefully,
God calls back to let you know, he treated you DIFFERENTLY,
to make you strong for the road ahead,
and make sure you no more bump your head.

The Extraveganza

The day begins, the week starts,
The month ahead, the year so far,
I look upto myself,
and call for my soul, to help me through the way,
so that I may not stray,
on the muntains so high, and the sea so deep.

I walk through the forest,
I make my own way, I look up to the sky,
And i just say,
"That's the place for me, not too far, not too low"

I make my own life, I am no one's prey,
I wish to the almighty, I may not stray.

It's not the jump I fear,
Its the landing that is uncertain,
In this extraveganza called LIFE.

WHEN TOMORROW STARTS WITHOUT ME..................

When tomorrow starts without me and im not there to see,
If the sun should rise and find your eyes all filled with tears for me.
I wish so much you wouldnt cry the way you did today,
While thinking of many things we didnt get to say
I know how much you love me as much as i love you.
And each time you think of me,i know u'll miss me too
But when tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand
That an angel came and called my name and took me by the hand
And said my place was ready in heaven above
And that i have to leave behind all those i dearly love
But as i turned to walk away a tear fell from my eye.
For all my life,Id always thought i didnt want to die
I had so much to live for and so much yet to do,
It seemed almost impossible that I was leaving you
I thought of all the yesterdays the good ones and the bad
I thought of all the love we shared and all the fun we had
If I could relive yesterday, I thought just for a while,
Id say goodbye and kiss you and maybe see your smile.
