There's a lot to do!

There are days,

When you're not praised.

And there are times,

When you're not listened to.

There are many moments-

unacknowledged & discredited - which might leave you.

But don't you stop there,

There's a lot to do!

Yes it is disheartening,

And quite discouraging too.

You'll meet people who might,

Keep trying to deject you.

Unhappy times will come and go.

But don't ever stop striving, 

To make your dreams come true.

Let attaining excellence, be your sole purpose,

Even if no one ever appreciates you.

Just go on doing and getting better,

There's a lot to do!

The Light of Love✨

It was a day...

As ordinary as other days.

When I unknowingly discovered,

The world's most beautiful place.

A place where there was,

Neither the sun nor the moon.

And yet it had not a trace of darkness,

All around light was strewn.

I kept walking down the lane,

Devouring the beauty with my eyes,

When I beheld the occupants of the land,

Having beaming faces and fabulous smiles.

Everything was so perfect,

In this distant unknown land,

But the mystery of its brilliance,

I could not understand.

It was then that I stopped,

And asked a resident about the mystery,

And then I was told the reason,

Behind the place being so sightly.

"Welcome to the Land of Love, Miss!",

Said to me, the resident,

"The love and loyalty of the people here,

Is the cause of its brilliance."

"We have no sun, moon or stars,

To give us any light,

But we have truth and love in our hearts,

Which makes our land so bright."

Perplexed and astonished I was,

As all this, I never knew.

Love for fellow being is so strong,

I never had a clue!

Suddenly everything went dark,

When I opened my eyes.

And that it was a mere dream,

I immediately realised.

It might be a dream,

But can't we make it true?

Love alone is the cure

for hatred and discrimination,

And our world needs it too.

The Mysterious Night Sky ❤️

Far from the worldly glitz,
Away from superficial beauty,
There lies a world deep and sparkling,
Comprising both mysteries and serenity.
Where darkness, so peacefully, co-exists with light.
A world that is black,
But, by no means dull.
Such is the beauty of the Mysterious Night Sky ❤️
Clusters of scintillating dots, looking towards us,
Along with the Moon-being protected by cloudy knights. 
So heavenly is their brilliance,
So intriguing is their enigma!
Such is the beauty of the Mysterious Night Sky ❤️
How is it, that something can be so amazing as that,
And yet so peculiar...?
An unsolved mystery it is, 
That keeps expanding, on altitudes so high.
So queer is the beauty,
Of the Mysterious Night Sky.❤️

Beautiful days

I sit down to write and realize I am short of words,
Then I recall the days,
When there was so much to write and say
Those were such beautiful days!💓

Life at school was so simple,

And yet so fabulous.

We were expected to be disciplined,

But we were so ridiculous!😀

From starting our days in our neat and ironed uniforms,

To dirtying them on the grounds and courts,

From eating and sleeping in the classes,

To bunking classes for the sake of sports.

Those were such beautiful days!💓

I recall being caught by teachers in the recess,

And getting punished for eating in class.

And how much we hated it,

When sports period was converted to an extra class🙄

I remember the faces of the girls,

Who carried loads of empty bottles to the water cooler,

And the girls who went to the rest room between the classes,

And promised to come sooner.😝

I remember everything, and I know everyone does,

Because our school is a paradise, not just some ordinary place.

I wish everything gets back to normal soon...

I want to re-live those beautiful days!💓
