My Strength Poem by Sathya Narayana
My Strength
MY STRENGTH
What is in life, so great?
Hard times arrive to hurt
with no notice prior.
Fortunes...ah so promiscuous,
flirt awhile and disappear!
Lo, this is life,
full of strain, struggle and strife!
But I built my own fort!
In my life, a good part
I gave to jest and laughter.
Let come pain or predicament
I can stave off and stay stiff
like an unbending alp.
Believe it or not...
humour is my armour,
my weapon and my forte;
bearing and braving my blues
and cruising my life boat
through many an unpleasant strait,
safely and smoothly
towards the other port!
well written Sathya...your strength is mine also..in tamil..Valluvar said..Thunbam varum vaelayil siringa...means when there is misfortune laugh away..great
Sathya, Your poem underlines my father's favourite quote: 'Life is a pendulum, swaying between a smile and a tear'... I like the shades of subtle humour in your write... Keep it up!
You have only one life.Take care of it. Do not make fun of it. Enjoy life
Yes, the ability to see the ludicrous side of life and to laugh it off, coupled with a positive frame of mind, help in winning the battle of life! Even in matters of love, - one must not' love too well ' like Othelo, but love wisely so! 10! Seasons greetings and a Happy New Year - 2009! - Raj Nandy
Thank you so much Sathya for that powerful paradign. Many times when life gets tough it is very easy to become serious and even sad. Thanks for the weapond of humor.10...
SOMETIMES IN THIS LONG WAIT FOR SOMETHING WE ALL HAVE SOMETHING TO HOLD ONTO... HUMOR BEEN UR FORTE... :) NICEEE
what we think is eventually reflected back -this is the fundamental law of nature and i am sure if u have chosen to smile -smile u will! that is surely the way to beat the very life out from all problems that come across us.-kick them with yr positive attitude
A smile can wipe away a thousand tears. A lovely poem. Best wishes, Andrew
