Grateful By Ketaki S. Vaidya

Teeny tiny life and its teeny tiny pleasures  were waiting to amuse  while you were aiming for the huge The clouds that gather slow the flowers that everyday grow the winds that wildly blow the stars that silently glow The season of falling leaf the shower which was brief the colors in ocean deep your baby while asleep The dew on leaf carrying light the thunder causing fright the hummingbird out of sight the crickets chirping at night The sound of rain on the roof the birds that fly in a loop the marching ants forming troop the fruits causing the tree droop The smell of fresh baking the face of a kid while faking the eagerness while making the expressions while picture taking Teeny  tiny life  and its teeny tiny pleasures teeny tiny moments  holding millions of treasures! 

I am a pretty grateful person So I remember to acknowledge  the people who were helpful I cherish the moments when my hands were full I am thankful for the ones who became my friends who stood with me whenever I had to meet ends.  Though, nowadays I feel  I was not so grateful for the times and for the people  who made me look like a fool  The truth is that they have played such a big role in fact they are the ones who have helped me set some goals These are the people  who made me realize that I am weak I never knew my strengths  they in fact helped me seek. These are the times  who showed me what I lack they have taught me how to bounce back Without them  I would have never learnt life's lessons I would have never known that by sharing happiness grows and nothing lessens So I should take a moment  To thank all the difficulties that make us clever but enough with teac...

The new leaf sprouting out of the ground After the bout of heavy snow After the darkest, stormy night The rising sun with same glow They all remind me of your existence In spite of all hardships  The show always goes on Everything always comes back No matter how long it was gone It all reminds me of your existence The cyclone makes the mansions fall The trees break down no matter how tall The wildfire burns the whole forest into ashes It doesn't care even after the whole human kind rushes It all reminds me of your existence I caused green revolution  On the land that was dry I taught the child smile  Who knew only how to cry It reminds me the fact that I am your child I keep going  Whether day or night For every scary darkness My spirits shine bright It reminds me of the fact that I am your child I can alone destroy the kingdom When my heart roars in rage I can turn into a soldier Whether a civilian...

देहाची पणती आणि मनाची वात  आता तरी जाणिवेची उजळू दे ज्योत  किती दिन अंधारात चाचपडत चालले  किती वाया गेले किती थोडेसे राहिले  अजूनही धुक्यामध्ये धूसरली वाट  किती अशी चालू, कधी होईल पहाट ?  किती यत्न केले, दिवे उसने आणले  प्रकाशाचे मर्म तरी नाहीच जाणले  कोणी वाचा म्हणे ग्रंथ, कोणी करा सांगे भक्ती  व्याधी सुटावी कशी हि कोणी सांगा ना रे युक्ती!  पाठराखीण हि माती, उडायला हे आकाश  का गवसत नाही तरी आतला प्रकाश 

The darkness was always there It is always been here It's neither good nor bad It's neither happy nor sad It was even there before sun It is still there till the mind can run We all came from darkness we all live in darkness We try to bring our own light some have dim some have bright Just like the Sun few spread it to others Few barely survive their fight with all weathers But we all have light that is fore sure Just that some are aware and some don't care Why blame darkness I do not understand It is just the only place where light needs to stand Don't forget the darkness and brighten your light brightest are the ones who give blinds also sight
