911. For My Friend Sri.. Poem by V F

..... This one is dedicated to you Srishti.....

Live not in the past..
it is over and done with...
you'v shed your tears..
and aired your fears...
what had to happen.. has..
tomorrow is promised to no one...
no saint.. nor beggar.. nor king..
what we truly have is only this moment...
NOW
Life is too short.... too fleeting...
briefer still are moments..
when we laugh, and love with abandon...
they are precious.. few and far between..
so just grab them with both hands...
every single one of them..
do not let even a single one escape...
draw out.. treasure.. every second..
let it linger on.. savor it to the fullest...
for who knows..
when the next one will come along...
my sweet friend.. let the wind run through your hair..
and the sun warm your fair cheeks...
feel every grain of sand..
as you run along the sandy beach...
that stretches from nowhere to nowhere..
laugh till your sides ache...
share a few tears with the lonely..
warm them with your love and care...
buy balloons and flowers for yourself..
adorn yourself with a beautiful smile...
live your life to the fullest..
and you will find youself surrounded by God's love and Peace.
