[bodytext] => Pining for things he had not Walked a man with sorrow great — Thought he, had he, this and that, Life would be so successful! Walked he so with cry and sigh, Heart laden with broken dreams! Met he then a man benign — Found him strange and wonderful! Dynamo of joy his heart! Storehouse of content his eyes! Thoughts and speech and actions, all, Factories of Love and Peace! Asked he to that man benign Reasons for his joy and peace — Asked he: “Have you name and fame? Billions? Buildings? Business? Gains?” Told he then with smiling face: “Nay, my dear! I’ve none of these.” “How this joy, this content, still? How you keep thus smiling still?” “Come I from the other side! So I see this sea of life Not as you here do my dear! How we see things matters most! “Viewing only those above Pining, whining, while you stay, Viewing always those below Stay we, joyous, satisfied! “Grieve we not for what we lack; Grieve we at our neighbours plight! Give we more than what we take; Sharing, caring, live we, dear! “Counting distance yet not done, Swoon you soon and slow your steps; Counting distance that we did, Scale we newer heights always! “Morrow or that yesterday, See not we as this Today! Choose we not these or those ways; Choose we mostly middle ways! “Ever forward we do walk; Failures, problems we don’t fear! Loss or gain, oh, we don’t mind! What we ought to do we do! “While you love the love of life Life of love is what we live! While for wealth and power you aim Love and Joy and Peace we claim!” [comments] => 3 [counter] => 200 [topic] => 19 [informant] => Kannan [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => InspirationalPoems )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
