Poem: Let's Learn to Bear

Let’s Learn to bear

Life is full of flaws
Of our own as well as others.
The problems perplex us.
We feel like flying off on our feathers.
But feathers we have none.
We have to learn to cope up
With the hardships, which may not be right.
It all depends on His might.
He makes us enjoy and suffer both
Strange are His ways and laws.
None have understood the mysticism of life
None would ever be able to do so.
But the very fact of marveling at things
Is also restricted to few.
These few may be called as the blessed ones
Or the doomed ones
As the case may be
Blessed ones are those who have
No hearts to bleed & feel.
No eyes to see
No ears to hear
No hands to give
No mind to share
Doomed ones are those who have all these.
We so often put ourselves amongst the doomed ones.
For in reality most of us are the blessed ones.
Let’s all pray to the God
To put us amongst the doomed ones
So that we may learn
To bleed, to feel, to see, to hear
To share, to give.
In short,
To bear.
