Blessed!

 

Blessed!

 

 

In the early Morning

When the first rays of the Sun

Have just sneaked into your bed room

While You are sitting on the sofa

Along with your wife

Sipping together morning tea

And exchange pleasantries

You are really lucky and blessed.

 

Your grandchild comes running to you

Sits in your lap

He smiles, he jumps,

he falls, he weeps

And asks for so many things

Chokolates, Kurkure, biscuits

Keeps uttering half spoken words so beautifully

You really experience a Heaven on the Earth.

 

Someone heartbroken

And fed up with life

Is on the brink of collapse

May not survive

Your single affectionate word

Can rekindle hope in him

Infuse love for life  

And save him

That gives you satisfaction par excellence

 

When a victim of road accident

Lying in the midst of road

In the pool of blood

Unattended

Half unconscious

Your slight attention and helping hand

Can save his life

You really become a messenger of God!

 

You can give a little

To someone actually needy

Unable to feed his child for the last several days

And save them from starvation

You enjoy the eternal bliss never experienced.

 

Thus, small things

Makes a lot of difference

Might change the course of life

Of a man deprived and in actual need

If we provide a helping hand

It gives us tremendous peace of mind

And a lot of satisfaction

And adds to the values of our lives

That makes the world

Really an abode of God!
