Play me as you want

No matter what the pain
I will accept what you ordain

I will graciously accept what you give
Its your choice whether I die or live

I am but an instrument in your hand
Your control over me I understand

I am but a lowly actor
You are the Master Director

I am just a character in Life's elaborate role play
You are the script writer,you know best my life will turn out which way

I will carry an umbrella on a bright sunny day since I have faith that it will rain
I am happy to endure every pain ,since in the end I'm sure to gain

Although Life is indeed a rocky terrain "This too shall pass " is the common refrain

May the Good Lord guide us and show us the way
Let all of us have a Wonderful Day!!

The Power of Now

I tried the Power of Now today
A piece of peace I found
In that moment my mind was calm & at rest
It gave joy to my heart profound

I realized life is but made up of moments Like pearls strung on a string
It is memories of the past and fears of the future that makes the present sting

If I could but just live out each moment and take whatever comes
I am sure I will be relaxed and happy no matter what the outcome

If I could but just focus on the now and give the best I can
I am sure life would pan out better and move as per His divine plan

It is when the mind is cluttered with thoughts unwanted and burdens of the past
That negative feelings silently creep in and seem to forever last

I have chosen to focus on just the Now & let bygones be bygones
Live out each day ,sleep well at night for tomorrow is a fresh new Dawn

Yesterday is history,tomorrow is a mystery ,Today is a present
Treat it like the gift it is meant to be and Life will surely be pleasant.

Picking up the pieces

As I pick up the pieces of my life once again
I wonder what is my loss , what is my gain?

What should I do to my peace retain? What should I do to my confidence regain?

Then I decide to follow the path shown by him
To do everything as an offering to him

When I offer to him I will give off my best Whether it be words or deeds or Life's toughest test

It's interesting how the pieces seem to fall in place
As though time did , never, them,displace

Only time will tell whether I won or lost My faith, I will not lose at any cost

No matter how long, how treacherous the ride
No matter how much the onlookers deride

I will continue to act, play out my role
Till the Director says "Pack Up" and I am no more.

In despair He is the glimmer of hope
He teaches us how best to cope

In darkness He is the ray of light
He blesses with the gift of inner sight

In a dark cloud He is the silver lining
It is but right,for him, we must be pining In a dark long tunnel

He is the pot of gold
No matter how long your journey,at the end,you,He will hold

In agony He is the exquisite ecstasy
Seek him, Worry not if people call you crazy

I wonder

I look at the blue sky and wonder
Can I ever relax and enjoy the splendor?

Can I just walk barefoot with the wet green grass under?
Can I just enjoy a steaming cup of tea amidst the crackle of lightning and thunder?

Can I just to simple pleasures of life, myself surrender?
Can I just admire the blooming buds tender?

Can I just soothe my frayed nerves, and my normal duties render?
I look at the blue sky and wonder
I look at the blue sky and wonder
