Be Grateful Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Be grateful
Wednesday,9th Mar 2022

Be careful in utterances
when using a word by chance
it will turn the table
and earn you the bad label

if not fully
own wholly
the mistakes
and take the full responsibility

admit openly
and say it bluntly
this is the right time
to admit the guilt all the times

pick up the good things
and try to bring
peace of mind
with the finding contentment

no one has escaped from greed and jealousy
but be not the curse of humanity
everything in abundance
it may not the best chance of living

life is for us to live
and believe
in its sanctity
life is a gift from an almighty
