SIMPLE PLEASURES OF LIFE

SIMPLE PLEASURES OF LIFE

another beautiful day is born

…………………..another day full of wishes and hopes

to look forward to being a happy john

…………………..no matter whichever way life slopes

happiness is a choice for all of us

…………………even if trying moments stares at you

don’t give life a chance to fuss

……………….cause you are a gem amongst the few

smile is said to make things right

……………there’s still nothing that you can do when you cry

look straight into life and give it a fight

……………………..remove all the weeds along the path to dry

for all the coming days to be beautiful

let all the days be born beautiful

all the feelings be alive and cheerful

why fret for petty dramas of life

look forward to the bigger brighter shades alight

how we used to enjoy those simple pleasures of life

value those small things that we had

unlike in today’s world where excitement and surprises are just a namesake

finding joys in simple pleasures have become a thing of past

so busy we become to fulfill our human duties within and without

never can we blame the societies of today

because that’s how we survive to fit in the race

but in this survival quest, in this marathon of getting somewhere, acquiring something, going ahead of someone

do we even have the time to just pause and look around

pause and turn around yourself

the simple pleasures which we used to cherish long time ago

people in the past were so much ignorant

for today, more and more informations are scattered around

let’s just pause and return to our roots

let’s come back to our basics mode

let’s just try to fit in few moments of simple happy moments and make them part of it along

join your near ones along to cherish together

let’s hear long lost song,

let’s just sit and have a chit chat with friends and family leaving all the gadgets behind

let’s just follow any hobby or passion which you long wanted to pursue

let’s heal our selves and people around cause many around today need healing on the inside

let’s spread small spots of joy, and layer it with enthusiasm and encouragement

let’s care for the needy, the elders

the way that’s possible for you

for blessings and happy moments are going to be your earnings on your death bed

w.h. davies has a wonderful quote in his poem ‘ leisure ‘

it is not people or purpose but life’s simple pleasures, hot coffee, a soft bed, a quiet walk in a forest, that save us in the end…….beau taplin

until next time, keep smiling

much love … stay happy … stay blessed
