NOSTALGIA

When I look out of my little window,
an ethereal face I see,
oh! so bright yet kind and caring,
it is my mother,don't you see?
she looks at me as if saying --
"come,hold my hand and walk with me"

When I look out of my little window,
a strong and stern look I behold,
it is my father,brave and bold,
oh!such gentle concern behind that gaze,
without him,into nothingness I faze.

When I look out of my little window,
a little cherubic boy I meet,
his tiny hands wave out to greet.
He smiles at me,naughty yet coy,
isn't that my son,a bundle of joy?

When I look out of my little window,
I see my sisters dear,always a part of me,
without them ,I just cannot be,
ups and downs,we've shared together,
the rest of life,we'll be with each other.

When I look out of my little window,
my brothers,they smile,always by my side,
my pillars they are,they are my guide,
with them,I've known the best of times,
laughter and fun and happy chimes.

When I look out of my little window,
one by one,I see them all,
my eyes turn moist as soon as they fade,
in pain I'm left that cuts like a blade.
Where are those beautiful days of yore
that were full of joy and happiness so pure?

OPTIMISTICALLY YOURS........

One particular line has always ruled my life ---" No matter how bad things are right now,they could definitely get worse
"This has helped me cope whenever I have found myself in a bad patch.Life is like Murphy's law.All that can go wrong will.There is no point in sulking and cribbing.I am a fatalist and I believe whatever has to happen will happen irrespective of how much you flail your arms in protest.Life is actually like bungee jumping--- at first you are scared stiff but by the time you have done it the fourth time,you know you can do it.When you hit rock bottom,you know that the only way is the way up.I have faced it,a situation when I felt that things could not get any worse.There is no sorrow or despair beyond that,no reasoning can calm you down and no pep talk can compose you.I sincerely do believe that things do happen for the best.God has charted a different path for everyone and our destiny steers us towards that path.At such times,it is better to optimistically think that nothing is permanent in this world,not even our troubles!Let's smile on that last line of mine.
