Just reflect

Think before you speak,

test before you trust,

take a look in that mirror

and reflect before you rest.

At every step,

at every stop,

look into the mirror of life,

and just reflect.

At every sadness,

at every joy,

look into the mirror of life,

and just reflect.

At every frown,

at every smile,

look into the mirror of life,

and just reflect.

At every bewilderment,

at every understanding,

look into that mirror of life,

and just reflect.

With my injury healed,

I ran, gushing with fervour and zeal.

Isn’t childhood the time to make merry and leap?

Replete with boundless joys and sound sleep,

Burdened with books and studies rife,

Paving way for bright future of my life.

Unable to comprehend their import,

With starry eyes, I long to go to a resort!

Career set aside,

All I dream is of a roller-coaster ride....

Far away from education zone-

At Funcity or Thunder-Zone!!

Friend, who is a friend,

Friend is who, who helps in need,

It is said that,

A friend in need is a friend in deed,

Some people think that,

That friend is best,

Who helps in school,

While sitting for a test,

But this is not real thinking.

I also have many friends,

But there are few whom I like most,

This is what experience I have about a good friend.
