Murtaza Hashwani Poems

If you can't be a pine on the top of the hill,
Be a scrub in the valley — but be
The best little scrub by the side of the rill;
Be a bush if you can't be a tree.
...

though I stand before you boldly,
trim in rank and marking time.
You do own to hear me faintly
as a whisper out of range,
...

In spite of war, in spite of death,
In spite of all man's sufferings,
Something within me laughs and sings
And I must praise with all my breath.
...

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all up hill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
...

If I can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain;
If I can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain,
...

The free bird leaps
on the back of the wind
and floats downstream
till the current ends
...

To live as gently as I can;
To be, no matter where, a man;
To take what comes of good or ill
And cling to faith and honor still;
...

I love every flavor.
Cookies & Cream.
English Toffee.
...

Apple pie is the
Best part of Thanksgiving.
Cooking food all
Day is fun with my family.
...

Life's like a book -- a chapter, a page.
Remembering our youth as fast as we age.
Life is a song; we choose what to sing.
Living is hard; what will it bring?
...
