In Sickness and Health

Life is not a bed of roses they say,
It's not all happiness and gain,
Once you are in life's journey you learn,
Each one has to endure some pain.

The cross we have to bear seems heavy,
We always want to know,  "Why me? "
We think our pain is the greatest,
Others' misery we fail to see.

When in the pink of health we often
Take things for granted, pay no heed,
To niggling symptoms and worries,
That to grave health concerns may lead.

So as you walk along life's journey,
Remember to take care of your health,
Pay-checks, leisure, love don't matter,
Good health, after all is your true wealth.

Window

A window is my respite,
From this dis-connected world,
Takes me to unknown places,
That I see before me unfold.
To places of mystery and joy,
Where I can do my will,
With no boundaries or critiques,
With none to fear instill.
I lay my soul bare,
The real me I can be,
I don't feel lost, alone, dejected,
A new beautiful world I see!

Window to the World.

English is not just a language,
It's a window to the world,
Brings people and countries closer,
Breaks many barriers untold.
English removes a sense of dis-connect
Cause communication plays a vital role,
It serves as a common language,
In a world having languages galore!
Doing undermine the native tongue,
That links us to our homeland,
Yet, for a united world we need,
One language that all understand.
This window to the world enables,
Communication, trade and goodwill,
Brings better understanding between nations,
Helps fill gaps and peace instill.
Be it French, German, Hindi,
Japanese, Urdu or Mandarin,
We all need that connecting factor,
Here's where English makes the breakin.
So even as we take great pride,
In languages of our beloved lands,
Let's raise a toast to English,
A language most of the world understands.
