"I will come to you in the silence
I will lift you from all your fear
You will hear My voice
I claim you as My choice
Be still, and know I am near

I am hope for all who are hopeless
I am eyes for all who long to see
In the shadows of the night,
I will be your light
Come and rest in Me"

(YOU ARE MINE)

INDIA POETRY: MRIDULA MENON'S PAGE: 1

HAVE A HEART.
One and all , she met in life
Beseeched her , have a heart .
And, she, her heart , soft and supple
Listened, responded, reciprocated
Their worries, anxieties, apprehensions
Her own she made
Ever soothing , ever appeasing .
She rejoiced too in their achievements
Becoming thus an integral part of their lives.
Her heart, tired and wearied
Burdened beyond endurance
Left her in a desperate bid
To make her realise its predicament
To make some sense to be dinned into her.
She, alone, forlorn,neither a helping hand
Nor a listening ear , nor a kind heart
Realised her folly...wisdom dawned.
To have a heart soft and compassionate
Without the discerning mind for support
In a world harsh and selfish
Is for ever a bane and a folly.
Love your own self , make your own self
Happy and relaxed
And wait for happiness to flood you.
