Forbearance
- - - - - - - - - -
When the riddle of life defies his powers
And rebels his fretted heart to cower
He will go out and ask everyone around
What I should do and what I should do
To retain peace of mind and tranquility
When in fight in a family, community or society
Here comes the story to enrich your mind
That O' Oson, the Prime Minister of Japan once lived
With 200 family members together in perfect harmony
Even would not fight with each other the pet dogs of family
Being impressed the Emperor called the PM to know the secret
So that he could circulate the same to all his subjects
For maintaining peace and harmony in their families
The PM wrote on a paper, forbear, forbear- a hundred times
And see the difference between blindness and sight
Between beauty and lies and black and white
For who can tolerate will survive
And who can not, will not thrive
And the fact remains for many decades
That old people can not change their habits or attitude
Here comes some sacrifice of younger generation
Towards their elders through holy forbearance
Thereby can they win the hearts of their parents
To live harmoniously in a family to their best
And this makes all the difference
Between love and acceptance- you and tolerance
No doubt forbearance and tolerance to all specially the old seniors is required but on the other hand being human being limitations are always there. A nice write....................10
Forbearance requires tolerance and huge amount of self control. It is indeed a great quality... but equally difficult to maintain on provoking situations! But at least some amount of borbearance is needed to make life peaceful... Again the elders cannot change their habits as they are deep rooted in them... So the younger generation should treat them with greater forbearance! Great message!
Towards their elders through holy forbearance beautifully marches poetry. Riddle of life defies and understands the essence in the nice way in poetry that flows and goes up and down according to emotion. Wonderful poem shared on.
