This mind is out of control today,
The heart has taken its role today.
Something better is waiting to unfold today,
Don't be sheepish, act bold today.

The beauty of nature is at its peak,
It's a big relief from the burning week.
People, trees, animals and birds all alike,
Are thanking the lord for this shower of rain and lightening strike.

The smell of earth, the color of the sky,
Has given us something to cherish amidst the sigh.
Stop a little, let the rain drops fall upon you,
Shed down the old, embrace the new.

Dear Love,

These moments of life, that I am spending with you,
Are the most precious ones to me.
Yes, there are some challenges,
But together, we will make them flee.

I know, sometimes, when we fight,
How bad it feel.
But without talking to you,
I can't eat even a single meal.

You are that discovery,
Which has made me rich with life.
You my dear, are my heartbeat,
Not just my wife.

My life today, is a blissful story,
You n Yuvi are the reason for its glory.
To keep you both happy, I am ready to face it all,
For our family's safety, I will always stand like a wall.

On this wedding Anniversary,
I wish us abundance of smiles,
It's just the 8th milestone,
Together, we have to cover many miles.

Dearest Soulmate,

On these 8 years of togetherness, I have so much to say,
And I want to start with thanking you;
For being my lifeline,
For supporting me throughout every weather,
For being a shield and protecting me from any evil,
For giving your best in every moment,
For not giving up on me,
For being my gossip buddy,
For trusting in my abilities,
For knowing me more than myself,
For pushing me to outreach any limits,
For teaching me how to be a gentleman,
For all those memorable trips together,
For handling our finances like a pro,
For being the most loving person.

Happy 8th Anniversary my love.

That feeling, that thought,
Of losing a one you love the most,
Takes away your breath.
That single moment has the power,
To unbalance your life,
And shatter all the math.

So, while you still can;
Fight less, play more,
Hate less, stay close,
Roam around the world, but never leave that hand,
Learn to understand the situation,
And take a stand.

Show your feelings often,
Share your thoughts everyday.
Be more truthful, careful, caring,
Live each moment as the last day.

This gift of family and friends,
Is a one time offer.
So, cherish it more,
And never let it suffer.

-

Keep your head low,
But it doesn't mean you have to bow.
Think, but not at the cost of your health.
Your holistic wellbeing is the true wealth.

There's so much in this world,
Which will not make sense.
But embracing loneliness,
Should not be your first line of defense.

Just leave it all to the god and live,
Sit down with folded hands in front of Krishna,
When you are left with nothing to give.

-

It is not possible,
To be correct all the time.
Yes, you may be a good person in your own eyes,
But, it shouldn't hamper your attitude of gratitude.

Accept your mistakes,
Apologise for the things done wrong.
Forgive the ones who hurt you,
Intentionally or unintentionally.
Let there be no self-boasting,
Let the "I" out of proportion.

Cherish the company of your loved ones,
Enjoy this very day, this very moment.
Thank him, the omnipresent lord,
And relax under his care.
Once he accepts you,
There's nothing else left to be achieved out there.

-

How could I justify my love for you, O dear lord?
You are the immense ocean, and I, just a drop of dew.
You are the whole universe, and I, a star, born anew.
You are the provider of the world, and I, a dependent on you.

I just wish to be able to serve at your feet,
Call me, for I am waiting.

-

Sometimes,
When everything is going right,
Life pulls your leg and tries to unbalance you.
Worry not in that situation,
As it's the message of god,
To help you recalibrate your approach,
And make the necessary efforts to move ahead.

Don't be bothered about how comfortable the past was,
Be ready to jump on the ship of life,
And embark on the journey in the toughest of seas,
As, it is rightly said that, "Hard times create strong men/women".

This one is not poetic, it's more of a prose,
Just like our lives are.
Move away from what is easily available,
As your destination is still afar.

-

Sometimes,
It's good to be silent,
Than trying to prove your worth,
To the ones who don't care.

Take some time off,
Indulge in some hobby,
Sip a cup of hot coffee or tea,
And just listen to the voice of the wind.

And then,
Join back without any baggage.
Leave all the enmity outside,
And focus on self-development.

This way,
You may be able to heal your soul,
And comfort your self.
And moreover,
You'll be able to reconnect with the whole.

-

Give rest to your thoughts and worry less.
This life is meant to be enjoyed,
No matter how big the mess.

Try reaching out for help, talk about your stress,
With the ones who listen and care.
And avoid the ones, who give lectures,
Telling you not to dare.

This time may not be yours,
Things might be not working out.
But even for a single second,
Your abilities you shouldn't doubt.

It's the testing times like these,
Which carve out strong humans.
Everyone deserves a self-respect,
Whether a man or a woman.

Trust your lord and your devotion,
He's going to bring things back to motion.
Till then, be your own best friend,
And take Shri Ram's name,
You'll discover back your lost glory and fame.
