Gratitude

The significance of gratitude
Is often lost upon most,
A simple thank you may suffice
Sometimes even a nod.
Acknowledgment is what matters
Recognition the most.
"it is their job" say some
And some call it duty.
But doing a job the way it was meant to
Those people you will find hardly.
Whether it be a server serving with a smile
Or a nurse with a caring hand
Be it an uncorrupt official
Or be it a philanthropic wealthy man
Be it your loving mother and father
Or your wife or child
Or, be it the stranger who lend you a hand.
If everyone played their roles responsibly
The world would surely be a beautiful stage
But alas, it is nothing but a chaotic mess
Gratitude is a must for those who do it well
For, one thank you can make them feel that after all, all is well.

    Very true. Can't agree more for the lines "But doing a job the way it was meant to, Those people you will find hardly."

    Unfortunately if you do what you do, they say it is supposed to be so.
    If you don't do but demand gratification to do what you are supposed to do and you then do, you are effective and productive.
    If you can show others work as yours then you are brilliant and successful.
    Dont expect gratitude.

The High Road

Take the high road, they said Hold your peace and be the "bigger man". Swallow your pride, your hurt and what you know is right. let them go their way, they said. Hold your tongue, they said be the calm in the storm don't let them get the better of you, don't stoop keep your head held high they said. weather the storm, they said he sees it all they said hold your peace and keep your grace life comes a full circle, they said. when others live by "at least", you must live by "my best" , they said. when others cursed and shirked, you must embrace it and bless and thank the lord, they said. The high road is lonely, cruel and harsh up on a pedestal, expectation abound the path less taken for sure. the divine light is at the end they said. but honestly, can't even see it any more.

Doubt

  H ave you ever had this feeling in your heart A feeling there was something missing, M issing a part A feeling in your soul T hat you weren't quite so whole. F eel so heavy Bursting at the sea ms S till so empty there's nothing left to give H ave you ever had that feeling L ike you're not quite there I n a room full of people But the noise disappears Inside you that one voice is so loud But you aren't quite sure what it's going on about. Tossing and turning in my bed So fixated yet unaware Thoughts abundant So unclear Within me, every day everywhere.

Family away from home

For my very few but truly precious friends...... You've known me As I was and as I wanted to be My hopes, my dreams All of my fond memories You were my family away from home My brother, my sister, my pillar Countless laughs we have shared And tears we have spent All our fears we shared And all those plans we had and all those that were undone. And although we don't talk every day Every hour any more. And you are no longer the first person I turn to When I am scared or happy or sad. You are always there whenever I really need to count on someone You are there when I need to be grounded You are still there in all my memories In the way I was and the way I want to be.
