PRICELSS GIFT

PRICELESS  GIFT

 

“The thoughts while presenting a watch to a girl friend”

 

Here it is to you

What money cannot buy

What once lost can never be recovered

The most precious jewel in our life

 That magical  number 24

From one sunrise to another

No room for expansion

Nor to curtail

One and only four letter word TIME

No time to procrastinate and idle

Act now to make a purpose in life

Categorize work to suit your life style

Cell phone,voice mail, e-mail to save time

Time for everything and anything

    Eat while you eat

    Work while you work

    Play while you play

3 in 1 all round chaos

Time to do nothing

Remain in silence

Introspect to rejuvenate

Waste no time to say

“I am sorry”

“Please forgive me”

“Thank you” for

Next sunrise not to be

Take no time to forgive

Instantaneous forgiveness

Good house keeper of the mind

Dirt of jealousy,hatred,ego,anger washed away

Ensure all round peaceful sleep

 

p.s when in need recharge the watch and the mind with prayer and meditation

“Time and tide wait for none”.Your poem is an expansion of this proverb.You have a philosophical bend of mind.

I dont think that the poem and proverb are related, the poetry depicts our lives in today’s world…well written and nice twist midway through..waste no time to forgive!

In fact on second thoughts I think it is linked to the proverb…sory for hurried comments..

Eat while you eat
Work while you work
Play while you play
So simple yet so much depth…if only we do that…living each moment and being true to that moment…our lives would be so enriched….
