Cheer Up - Me! ! Poem by Shankaran Kutty

When the flowers are in full bloom during spring
And we blindly pass by
It is not the flowers that lose its beauty
But we, in missing a joy for the eye

The mighty river that flows down the plain
So happy to be a life giver
Yet, if in arrogance one refuses to stoop and drink
Is it his loss or that of the river?

The stars that twinkle far and bright
Like crystals across the night sky
If we stop to gaze and wonder
Its beauty does it deny?

The sun that gives us light and heat
Each morning does it rise
Some pray, some curse the blistering heat yet
By not turning up, does it surprise?

The wind that blows, the tides that rise
The waves that crash on the shore
Whether we stop to thank or curse
They continue ever more

I am the sun, the soothing breeze
I am the twinkling star
So I’ii never fret over they who fail to cheer
I believe, I am a better human by far

I won’t be sad by what they say
I will fill up my days with cheer
Remembering those who pamper me with love
Who are with me, always near
