Fruit of a labour

Fruit of a labor

Every fruit represents labor of love
From sowing the seed till fruit bearing stage
There is lot of tender loving care involved.
When it’s done selflessly, more rewarding
Not only for juicy fruits but
tremendous satisfaction it produces.

Grandparents plant the fruit trees
and their grandchildren enjoy the fruits.
As if river of love crosses the generations
A fruitful contribution designed by nature.
A simple fruit, colorful, juicy and sweet,
Has such a high profile of heritage and love.

Because you cared for me...

Just want you to know
that I am doing fine here.
Though life is not the same;
getting used to the change.

I miss you a lot but
studying what I crave for;
Working hard all day long,
coping with a constant change.

You know, I value you more
in your absence, now I know
I always took you for granted
without a respect or appreciation.

I just want you to know
whoever I turnrd out now
is just because you cared for me-
Your compassion made me whole!
Second place winner in Senior moments.

Happiness is human’s first birth right
Each person spends life to find it
It’s emotions felt within
Materialistic gain-
Rich and wealthy life
Can’t guarantee
Happiness
for all.
But

Adds
Joy to
content life.
Happy is who
has no fear or pain,
takes pride in his work,
loves family and friends.
trusts self and the super power-
which guides him with kindness and grace.

Romantic moonlight,
Created the term ‘Honeymoon’
Where Newlyweds find the bliss!
Illuminated,
With the moon and stars at night,
The sky plays light’s symphony!

Turnberry street poetry:

Power of experience
Dreams change as you start on your own;
life teaches you as experiences grown.
With your dreams you get the new look
of your learned know-how in your life–book.

Running yourself, not an easy encounter;
every step and event makes you ponder
the cause and effect of your each action,
remembering the wisdom of past guidance.

The frictions of past become your guide,
your old radical acts hopeless to abide,
but you wanted to start your own way -
then to grasp what the experiences sway.

flowers, for my mother,
Colorful display of your nature
Crocuses for tolerance,
Tall tulips for patience,
Hyacinths for fragrance,
Magnolias for sacrifice
Abundant love in colorful hue
The Mother Nature, just like you.
