Live With Reality-Today Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Live with reality-Today
Monday,24th May 2021

You could do nothing in the past
memory too lasted not long
you couldn't decide about what went wrong
nothing was good to be sung as a song

if the past has slipped
today, at least, can be clipped
the past can be wiped out
and today can be worked out

gain or pain
both shall remain
for any human being
only he has to bring the result

if you seed a plant
as you want
tomorrow it shall grow as a giant tree
giving a shade-free to your children

so live with today
and stay
firm in your conviction
without giving an adverse reaction

if success has to come
appreciate the effort and welcome
it is the fruit of your labour
and earned with respect and honour
