Celebrate The Gift Of Thy Life Sans Complaints. Poem by C. Muralidara Kannan

Celebrate the gift of thy life
sans any complaints.

Wanna know the real meaning of life?
And how blessed
thou art?

Go to the bed of a
terminal patient!

Visit the hospital wards
Of multiple injuries.

Call on a family that
Cares for an
autistic child.

Meet a spouse who
has sacrified everything
to rehabilitate the counterpart.

Make your way at least
once to the war-worn lands.
And see the
traumatic life
of innocent children!

At least read and understand
Helen Keller's
Autobiography!

Why do you fret?
Never try to be richer and richer.
You boast a bank-balance.
Do you have a sure time-balance?

You have many
comfortable homes
with cosy rooms.
Do you have any
children to rejoice?

Remember the sloka
'Paropakaaraya phalanthi
Vrukschaaha'
Trees give fruit for others.
Spend the rest
of thy days
helping and caring others.

Keep sending hearty
note of thanks
to your Creator.

Peace and happiness
is already there if
thou hast the bent
to look within thee!
