THINK CONTRIBUTION

Life is full of competitions

So in all your actions

Always think contribution

Apply your dormant education

It's full of divine revelations

With abundant illumination

To avoid life's frustration

And enjoy total transformation.

Take responsibility

Don't become a liability

But apply your ability

Never limit your capability

Opportunity's always with responsibility

Be productive to avoid calamity.

The world need contributors

Many are mere spectators

Never be a perpetrator

Neither a traitor

But join the liberators

To become peace generator.

ODE TO MY SWEETHEART

My sweetheart

How time flies

My dear wife

It's twenty-five years

Twenty-five Calendars

When you said "I DO"

And we boarded together

On the journey of life

Just you and me

It was a risk

or may be an adventure

The sun had just appeared for us

exposing to us the hidden treasures of life

in our love boat

Like layers of onion

We moved on in union

on the island of love

Just like a dream

It's now our silver jubilee

Your beauty intoxicate me daily

Like the wine served at the marriage

at the Cana of Galilee

I thanked my star daily

For you're my correct bone

It's time to pop champagne

And to unending love

On life 's journey

Till we march to eternity.
