God is always Near

GOD IS ALWAYS NEAR

One thing can always cheer me
When I'm feeling sad and low
When I tired of daily trials
That I have to undergo,
When those who should
Seem closest, seem like
People I don't know,
One thing can always cheer me
I know that God is near me.

One thing can always cheer me
When I do not understand
How pain and sadness
In our lives
Can get so out of hand,
When the best of human efforts
Doesn't meet the days demands,
One thing can always cheer me
I know that God is always near me.

One thing can always cheer me
More than anything I've known
And show me I will never
Have to struggle on my own
For no matter what might happen
I will never be alone
The thing that will always cheer me
Is just knowing God is near me.

Our lives are in God's loving
Hands, in everything we do
He is with us constantly,
He always sees us through.
And if our faith is strong enough
We'll never walk alone,
For with His great and perfect love
He takes care of His own.

A Beautiful Soul's Gift

                                                                 REVELATION 
I went in search
of you,
traversed barren lands
and dense forests.
Not sure where my journey
would take me,
all I wanted
was to find you.
Weary from travel,
I stopped to ask some people
where you lived.

They told me to walk north
then climb a hill.
Your house is atop the hill,
they said.
They were so sure.

Some said you live on the other side
of the river.
Others talked of sailing across the ocean
to another land.
Far away. From here.

I sat down
on the dusty pavement
Confused. Unsure.
I was tired and hungry
so I reached for my bag
and took out my last piece of bread.

Just then a dog came running
towards me.
She wailed in pain,
her eyes pleaded
with me
for a morsel of food.

As I watched her eat
that last piece of bread,
I said a prayer for her
in your name.

I felt a surge of love.
Your love
for her.
As waves of compassion streamed
forth from my heart,
my eyes welled up with tears.

Such a love
could possibly come only
from you.
Such waves of compassion could rise
only from an ocean as large
as you.

Imagine my joy
when I realised that the ocean
is within me.
That you
are within me.

ULAA VARUM - M.S.BREETOE

காவியமானது..

உண்மைக் காதல்
ஏட்டில் வடிக்க
பொய்மைக் காதல்
வாழ்வைச் சிதைக்க
புரியா உணர்வில
தெரியா உறவாய்
சேர்ந்த காதல்
கல்லறைக்குள் வாழ
இறப்பின் சிறப்பு
காதலில் தெரிய
கண்ணீரால் நனைந்த
காதல்
கல்லில் செதுக்கிய
காவியமானது...

Life

Remember to be gentle with yourself and others
We are all children of chance
and none can say..

why some while  fields will blossom while others lay brown 
beneath the sun
Care for those around you
Look past your differences
their dreams are no less than yours
their choices no more easily made

And give in give in anyway you can
of whatever you poses

To give is to love, To withhold is to wither
Careless for your harvest than for now it is shared
Your life will be meaningful and your heart will have the peace
