Month of February have always been a very special month for me...month of love..colors..spring..flowers...n yea my Birthday..:))

I love to celebrate small occasions in life as I believe these small celebrations really make big differences in life and make life beautiful and colorful...In today's fast pace life where we hardly get time to even sit and talk to our family...I feel occasions like Valentines Day is a great opportunity to express our love and feelings with our loved ones...is not important that only if you have someone special like your girl friend/boy friend or hubby/wife then only you can celebrate Valentines Day..even you can celebrate it with your family..friends..n whoever you feel for...its just a day to express your love for whoever you hold in your heart...so come on...avail the opportunity..n get ready to surprise your loved ones by making small efforts to make them feel your love...your small gifts..cards..celebrations can make a difference not only for people you are planning all this for but also for your own self too...

So get ready to celebrate n express your love...do as much as u can n you will definitely feel the difference n so much color n positive energy in your life... :)))

Take a step ahead to spread love n peace around...:)

Lotsa Love,
Samrina

Learnings of life...

With all the due respect...I am sharing this here that one of my blog friend Umair have shared in response to one of my previous post..first I typed my reply to this comment in the comment box then I thought its worth sharing with the other readers as well..as this incident of this friend of mine will definitely make us learn something in life that might can change our thinking n perspective too..so here it is..

It was the second day of Eid. Everyone was making merry at their places on that festive occasion as it was a public holiday too. I was refueling my car on a gas station. I saw this old man passing by on road on his bicycle. Suddenly the bicycle flipped over and the old man came down. I didn't see any apparent reason of why that bicycle flipped over except that there was something wrong with the old man. Sadly no body stopped for the old man. I quickly rushed towards him, gave him a hand, helped him stand and rescued him to a chair in the gas station. Old man was constantly fumbling his pockets for something and he was just too feeble to utter even a single word. I tried to rub his chest and I felt there was something in his front pocket. I took it out and it turned out to be an inhaler. He quickly took some puffs and felt a little better. He asked for some sugar as he was also diabetic and probably the reason for him flipping over was that his sugar level went dangerously low. I asked him where hes coming from and whats his destination. He told me that he's a carpenter and he worked on a daily wage and that he didn't have any kids. He was going to the factory to see if its open and if he could get to work to earn his daily wage of 300 rupees. He further told me that he had to pay the electricity bill, rent and other utility bills. He wouldn't be able to feed his wife and himself if he didn't have work that day. Imagine a man aging 80,diabetic and asthmatic, traveling 14 miles on a bicycle on one of the biggest festive occasion of the year, looking for his daily wage. I was in two minds whether to help him financially or some other means. I took a currency note of 1000 Rs from my pocket and offered him. The old man with a big self esteem refused to take that amount saying that he was not a beggar and that he works with his bare hands to earn and off he went to his bicycle and disappeared.

That incident left a very huge mark on my life. I started to compare my myseries with the old and I found out that the comparison is not even possible except that my little daughter passed away at the age of 2 months. I couldn't sleep well a number of nights after that incident. I started to feel guilty whether I'm just another selfish human? What's the purpose of my life? Is my life, my dreams, my wishes more important than others? Do I have the right to be happy when others are not? How important is my own life? I pondered and pondered and pondered. Extremely depressed and low and then I came to a resolution and told myself that everybody lives for himself/herself in this world, you;re no different. There has to be a purpose of my life, running after material well being is surely not the purpose of this life and people around me are more important than my ownself.

I know people would disagree to that but thats how I have started to percieve things after that incident.

Umair...firstly thanks for sharing such a touching real life incident of your life here...definitely whoever will read it out here will learn something though that learning might be different then yours as different people perceive same thing in a different way as per their priorities..level of sensitivity..experiences in life so far n different other factors..

It might be just words for you that you might have heard from many but from my depth of heart I am so sorry to hear about your young daughter..you know this is where we see God n believe that yes there is someone who is driving us..taking decisions for our life..n time to time with different incidents in life telling us that He exist and He holds all the power..

We all have some gains n losses in life...n that's all life is all about..nothing but just an EXAM...what i have learned so far in my life is..limit your expectations from this world..as life after death is the real life..whatever we gain or loose in this life its just to test us by God..n in our life after death we ll be no doubt rewarded for our good deeds n will meet again all the loved ones that unfortunately we all have to loose at some point in this life..sooner or later..

I would just say it is right n good that you value others and think about them that deeply and find your happiness in their happiness but with that its not advisable that you start ignoring yourself..your own happiness n sorrows..Allah(God) have gifted you this life..so you also have a right to be happy and fulfill your desires and needs at least to an extend you can do..otherwise you will loose yourself one day or will be tired..which obviously is not healthy..just believe in God..if He takes something from you then He gifts you many things as well..I know there are so many happiness waiting for you in your life a head..Cheers!!

Peace!

You're Important...

Many of us spend most of our time in doing things what others want or expect us to do as our duties or responsibilities. It is true that it feels really great to do things for others and their happiness but with this most of the times we forget our own self...our desires..our wishes..our dreams..our happiness..and that ultimately lead us to depressions..lack of satisfaction..and can also make us feel as we are caught in an undertow of survival...

While fulfilling your responsibilities and making others happy we shouldn't forget that WE'RE IMPORTANT too...we also need our own time..our attention..and sometimes we also need to pamper our self and make our self happy..it is very important to know our self..our desires..our dreams..our true happiness n peace..

So just spare few minutes in your routine for your own self...look into your heart..explore yourself..your dreams..your desires..define your true happiness and peace..and then go for it!

Peace!

It's Another New Year...
But for what reason is?

To all my near and dear ones,

We all are known with the fact that our lives are made up of a million different ways. All of us are searching for love, peace, and harmony. We all are struggling for something. There are always some challenges there to face in the life that keeps the charm a live and keep us moving ahead in life. So, I hope that the past year would have ended up for all of us with some great learning of life and memories to cherish in this up coming year. I just pray that all we have passed through in the past year 2010 will help us all to understand and grasp a higher meaning of life, to appreciate God’s gifts, and the strength to accept our faults.

I pray that we all may carry on forward with all that we achieved in the past year by practicing humility, absolute awareness, forgiveness and we can experience each day as a new with a fresh start. Just remember no day is better than today to mark a new beginning in our lives, with a promise to be better human being than the year before, in action, and in spirit.

I wish for all happiness, peace of mind, good health,
I wish success in all our personal life and in our careers...
I wish the vanishing of hard feelings among family and friends
I wish a strong faith to carry through the times that are hard for us all...
I wish lessons learned so that all of us will not make the same mistakes over and over again in life..
I wish the innocence of youth and the wisdom of maturity...
I wish Love, peace and honor for all of us in this life and the life to come.

Ameen

Stay Happy, love life and enjoy…

A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU All…!!

Best Regards,

Earning of Life...

We all own some moments, feelings, relationships, any achievement or anything else to cherish our entire life.. that happiness remains fresh forever with us... when we r down n kinda hopeless these earning of life bring us happiness, new hopes and gives us courage to dream on and move ahead in life with new energy...

Its not that hard to get these small but special moments and achievements..we all do have such special moments and feelings in life but its all just a matter of realization..rather then looking into what we have lost in life, if we just start counting on that what we have achieved and get in life..we will get numerous moments and feelings to cherish...Life is all about small things..if we start doing small things for ourself and others we can get lots of happiness in life..making your loved ones feel your love cannot only make them feel special but also get you the same return and happiness..relationships and true love is the true earning of life..that only can get you true and pure happiness today and also after life...

Just shared my views and thinking regarding life and true happiness...hope you guys will understand..and I would love if any of you like to share or add your views in this regard..:))

A True Relationship...

Most of us feel more comfortable and less vulnerable when we are with a group of people. No one look at us closely and known us intimately. One can easily hide his/her real feelings, weaknesses, or any attribute of his/her personality or nature by being in a group. Whether its a good compliment or bad its been said for a group and been shared by all of the group members equally.

It's true that all of us want to have easy ways in life but again 'easy' is not always best.. Being a human being we all are linked up and no one of us can survive in isolation.. sharing is considered to be healthy.. normally people do achieve their goals and targets as a group rather then they effort individually.. but still there are few things, feelings & relationships in life that we don't want to share.. their pleasure is more by having it alone.. a sense, a feeling of OWNING a relationship is the most beautiful feeling in the world... and that you can't get by being in a group but by having a one to one relationship with someone... where you stand as you purely.. where you don't need to hide yourself, where you open yourself up and share your honest feelings, where you don't have any fears but a trust that this person opposite to you understand you and accepting you with your good and bad.. and there you stand to gain a reward.. a reward of a rich, long lasting and a very strong bond that could never be formed in a group..

Yes, one to one relationships are more work and reliable, and when you treasure these relationships and work to maintain them, the emotional rewards are priceless.. and for your life time you get a relationship that will stand with you in your good and bad with all support and love..

Our entire life we keep on running after money, seeking for a luxurious life, fame, beautiful n attractive partner but all these things can't buy you true happiness, can't bring you a feeling that yes! you are worth living.. can't make you feel what you can feel n enjoy having a true relationship in your life... a relationship of your life.. a relationship you can die with... a relationship that give you n your life a meaning.. a relationship that make you feel beautiful n on the top of the world... and in your last days of life you'll have a hand to hold, so many memories to cherish and above all a feeling that your life been worth living by having a true partner for your life with whom you shared all up n down of life easily...

Wish we all get a true relationship for our life..

Best Regards,
Samrina

Mistakes...

Learn all you can from the mistakes of others.. You won't have time to make them all yourself..
( Alfred Sheinwold )

Well no one among is perfect.. we all do face up and down in life and different situations.. at times we are successful in dealing with problems we face but at times we do fail as well and nothing bad about it if we take our failure as our learning and get benefit out of it.. Making mistake is normal and we all do commit mistakes and blunders at times but rather then loosing hope and getting into depression we should learn our lesson and move further in life with a new hope and positive energy... When we continue to move forward in this way there will be no repentance for the mistakes made but there will be learning that will make us experienced. And when we are experienced we'll never be deceived by situations which make us commit mistakes and we'll lead to a happy n healthy life ahead...

Relax & Enjoy Life's Journey...

Everyday we are bombarded with an ever-increasing responsitibilities, tasks, opportunities and goals to accomplish.. yet we dont have enough time neither energy normaly to do all on time plus perform all our tasks perfectly... and what it all ends with is... tiredness, dissapointments, depressions, stress, bad moods and above all we waste one more day of our life in struggling that ends with no results as we are over burden with our duties.. in the tension of getting our tasks and goals accomplished we forget n ignore something really important and that's to LIVE LIFE... to spend time with your loved ones, to smile, to enjoy, and to entertain n pamper yourself which I believe is really important to keep yourself happy n healthy..

Well message that I want to convey here is Life is not meant to be a struggle but a balanced and joyful journey. So better we learn to say 'NO' to additional responsibilities that are not in harmony with our aspirations and try to resolve to stay focussed on accomplishing tasks that we consider really important. Dont overwhelmed yourself and dont take burdens that you cant carry. Dont wait for better tommorow but mlive in your today happily and enjoy every moment of life gifted by God..

Message on Eid-Ul-Adha

I would like to congratulate all Muslims who have successfully performed the Hajj and wish all Muslims a happy Eid. Eid-ul-Adha, or the Feast of Sacrifice at the end of the Hajj marks the story of the Prophet Ibrahim (AS) and the immense sacrifice that he and his family were prepared to make for the sake of truth and faith. The rituals and symbolic acts contained in the Hajj are a constant reminder of the principles by which we are called on to live our lives by: faith; repentance; honesty, simplicity; equality and charity.

Today we commemorate this act of sacrifice by our own acts of sacrifice and charity to the less fortunate. I would like to commend my Muslims fellows for their contribution to assist our brothers and sisters at this difficult time.

May Allah help us to understand the actual meaning of sacrifice and accept all our deeds and the sacrifice made according to thy wish.
Aameen ya rub-ul-aalamin.

A VERY HAPPY EID-UL-ADHA TO ALL OF YOU.

Sometimes...

Sometimes we need to stop analyzing the past,
Sometimes we need to stop planning future,
Sometimes we need to stop using our brain to take decisions;
and sometimes we need to listen to our heart what it says,
Sometimes we need to stop thinking about our own self;
and sometimes we need to think about others benefit too,
Sometimes we need to let it go,
Sometimes we need to accept life as it comes to us,
Sometimes we need to forgive, forget & ignore,
Sometimes we need to smile without any reason,
Sometimes we need to give our self break from routine,
Sometimes we need to let our self free,
Sometimes we just need to go with the flow,
Sometimes we need to live as we we want...

Message of the day..

I received this beautiful message in a forward email so here I am sharing it with all my readers as I found it worth sharing, hope you all gonna agree to this too.. so here it is:

If you go,

Go all the way till end.

If you give,

Give all that you have,

If you share,

Share all that you can.

If you love,

Love with whole of your heart.

Because-

How will you know,

What the end holds for you.

If you quit from half way through?

How will you feel the glory,

That is there in the complete surrender?

And what is the use of sharing,

If the secrets remains within you,

To make your burden heavy?

And why to hold your love back,

If there is someone who needs it?

So give all, share all, love unconditionally,

Happiness...

Our passions, expectations, life experiences, and even our personalities all contribute to the level of happiness we experience in our lives. Some find happiness in their careers while others find ways to be happy in their marriages or other relationships or may be in any materialistic stuff like money, big house, brand new car, or anything... We all differ in terms of our priorities, values and thinking.. though sometimes we do get people on the way of life with same frequency and that I think all our good luck to have such people in our life... though hard to find.. :)

With all these above mentioned differences there is a big common reality/ fact that we all share that we all are Human beings after all.. with same basic needs.. we all cry in our pain or when we r hurt, we smile when we r happy... Similarly no one of us like to be unhappy, no one appreciate lie or injustice, non of us like to be hated, we all want respect,importance, care, sense of belonging, sense of purpose (a feeling that you are here for a purpose n u worth living) and above all we all need LOVE..

I have hardly seen anyone so far in my life saying that he/she is happy.. normally people you hear complaining.. may be its a human nature that we never get satisfy and after every achievement we start struggling and running after any other thing is life... I accept its a positive approach and keeps you active and moving in life... but besides moving ahead for our other goals we should also try to live in present and celebrate on what we have achieved already... most of us keep on regreting or complaining for what we have lost that keep us sad n depressed rather then being happy for what we have achieved...

So all I can say today is life is too short.. dont delay to enjoy your present.. dont delay to say thanks to God, your loved ones for being always there for you and making your life worth living, dont delay to say sorry if you have ever hurt anyone, dont delay to express your true feelings for anyone coz may be you never get another chance, and dont delay to smile coz you never know what life holds for you in up coming moments...

Live today with a smile.. :))

Happy Independence Day!!

Whether its good or bad but reality is that we all love the land we belong to... no matter where we go.. where we live.. where we get settled down.. our nationality.. our country's name is always attached with us.. No matter how much we are far from our mother land but when we listen anything bad about our country we do feel bad.. we do feel the pain if anyone suffers in our country or if heard of any bomb blast or any such terrible news related to our mother land.... we get excited when we see our country's team winning any match.. our lips automatically start moving to pray for our players.. we can't control our tears if our country's team have to face failure in any match.. our heart beats with some special excitement when we hear anyone around taking our country's name... we all do want to see our country's name on top of the list.. that's all natural.. that's what we call concern, passion, patriotism and Love for our land, our country...

I belong to a country that comes under the list of third world countries.. where still we are struggling to get basic necessacities like electricity, clean water, n all... we have so many other problems... for world may be Pakistan stands no where or may be known as the country of terrorism.. but still with all these cruel realities.. we do exist.. Pakistan exist.. we do love our country.. and still we are trying.. n struggling to save the name and good will of the land we belong to... We all know the fact that nothing is perfect on this planet earth... good and bad is everywhere... so I accept my land gave birth to few people who dont worth even to be called humans.. they not only ruined the name of Pakistan but religion Islam as well... but still with this cruel reallity there is another reallity as well that there are people belong to this land who are among the most successful people in the world... whether its business, sports or any other field.. so with dark side there is a brighter side of the picture too... but still we are paying cost for being... just because of the few criminals belong to this land.. whole nation is suffering for those few wicked people... non of the religion favours terrorism, non of the country's laws allows terrorism and no one on this planet want to have unnecassary fights... we all do want peace n love... whether its Pakistanis, Indians, Americans or whoever... first we all are human... we all do breathe... we all have same basic needs.. I wish we stop discriminating.. we stop doing stereo typing... and stop judging and pointing out others rather try to help each other to improve n be better... rather then fighting for our country we should fight agaisnt people against world, humanity and people who are responsible for terrorism in this world..

Love for all..

The Real Essence...

Success eludes many people because they define it too narrowly. They see it only in superficial terms of money, or fame, or power, and completely miss real essence of success.

If you strive solely for material wealth, or influence, or the praise of others, then you are merely pursuing the empty shell of success, without ever attaining success itself. Such an approach rarely ever works, and even when it does it quickly crumbles.

Real success comes from adding value to the world in your own special way. And every day presents you with an abundance of opportunities for doing that. Today is no exception. This very day, you can be a successful as the world's most widely acclaimed billionaire, simply by using what you have, to do what you can.

Success is found in directing your life towards a meaninggful purpose. No amount of money, or power, or fame can ever equal that.

F A M I L Y

I ran into a stranger as he passed by, "Oh excuse me please" was my reply.

He said, "Please excuse me too; I wasn't watching for you."

We were very polite, this stranger and I.

We went on our way and we said goodbye.

But at home a different story is told, How we treat our loved ones, young and old.

Later that day, cooking the evening meal, My son stood beside me very still.

When I turned, I nearly knocked him down. "Move out of the way," I said with a frown.

He walked away, his little heart broken. I didn't realize how harshly I'd spoken.

While I lay awake in bed, God's still small voice came to me and said,

"While dealing with a stranger, common courtesy you use, but the family you love, you seem to abuse. Go and look on the kitchen floor, You'll find some flowers there by the door. Those are the flowers he brought for you. He picked them himself: pink, yellow and blue. He stood very quietly not to spoil the surprise, you never saw the tears that filled his little eyes."

By this time, I felt very small, And now my tears began to fall.

I quietly went and knelt by his bed; "Wake up, little one, wake up,"

I said. "Are these the flowers you picked for me?"

He smiled, "I found 'em, out by the tree. I picked 'em because they're pretty like you. I knew you'd like 'em, especially the blue."

I said, "Son, I'm very sorry for the way I acted today; I shouldn't have yelled at you that way."

He said, "Oh, Mom, that's okay. I love you anyway."

I said, "Son, I love you too, and I do like the flowers, especially the blue."

I received this thought provoking short story through a forward email and found it worth sharing so here i posted it for all my readers. Today I see most of us are busy in our life in achieving our goals, our education, our jobs and all.. ignoring our families.. but we never think that if we died tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily replace us in a matter of days. But the family we left behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives. And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into work than into our own family, an unwise investment indeed, don't you think? So what is behind the story???

Just give it a thought today...

God does exist...

An atheist professor of philosophy speaks to his class on the problem science has with God, The Almighty.
He asks one of his new students to stand and.....

Prof:
So you believe in God?
Student:
Absolutely, sir.
Prof:
Is God good?
Student:
Sure..
Prof:
Is God all-powerful?
Student:
Yes.
Prof:
My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to God to heal him.
Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But God didn't. How is this God good then? Hmm?
(Student is silent.)
Prof:
You can't answer, can you? Let's start again, young fella. Is God good?
Student:
Yes.
Prof:
Is Satan good?
Student:
No.
Prof:
Where does Satan come from?
Student:
From....God....
Prof:
That's right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?
Student:
Yes.
Prof:
Evil is everywhere, isn't it? And God did make everything. Correct?
Student:
Yes.
Prof:
So who created evil?
(Student does not answer.)
Prof:
Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don't they?
Student:
Yes, sir.
Prof:
So, who created them?
(Student has no answer.)
Prof:
Science says you have 5 senses you use to identify and observe the world around you.
Tell me, son...Have you ever
seen God?
Student:
No, sir.
Prof:
Tell us if you have ever heard your God?
Student:
No, sir.
Prof:
Have you ever felt your God, tasted your God, smelt your God? Have you ever had any sensory perception of God for that matter?
Student:
No, sir. I'm afraid I haven't.
Prof:
Yet you still believe in Him?
Student:
Yes.
Prof:
According to empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol, science says your GOD doesn't exist.
What do you say to that, son?
Student:
Nothing. I only have my faith.
Prof:
Yes. Faith. And that is the problem science has.
Student:
Professor, is there such a thing as heat?
Prof:
Yes.
Student:
And is there such a thing as cold?
Prof:
Yes.
Student:
No sir. There isn't.
(The lecture theatre becomes very quiet with this turn of events.)
Student:
Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat.
But we don't have anything called cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat, but we can't go any further after that.
There is no such thing as cold . Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat . We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy . Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it .(There is pin-drop silence in the lecture theatre.)
Student:
What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?
Prof:
Yes. What is night if there isn't darkness?
Student :
You're wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright
light, flashing light....But if
you have no light constantly, you have nothing and it's called darkness, isn't it? In
reality, darkness isn't. If it were you would be able to make
darkness darker, wouldn't you?
Prof:
So what is the point you are making, young man?
Student:
Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.
Prof:
Flawed? Can you explain how?
Student:
Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue there is life and then there is death, a good God and a bad God. You are viewing the concept of God as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, science can't even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one.To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing. Death is not the opposite of life: just the absence of it.
Now tell me, Professor.Do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?
Prof:
If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of course, I do.
Student:
Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?
(The Professor shakes his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument is going.)
Student:
Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor, are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist but a preacher? (The class is in uproar.)
Student:
Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor's brain?
(The class breaks out into laughter.)
Student:
Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor's brain, felt it, touched or smelt it? No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established rules of empirical, stable, demonstrable protocol, science says that you have no brain,sir.
With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir?
(The room is silent. The professor stares at the student, his face unfathomable.)
Prof:
I guess you'll have to take them on faith, son.
Student:
That is it sir.... The link between man & god is FAITH . That is all that keeps things moving & alive.

I have received this as a forward e-mail and found it worth sharing so I have posted it here at my blog and I do hope you have enjoyed the conversation too...this is a true story, and the student was APJ Abdul Kalam, the former President of India.

Humble Pie...

Fill me full of humility,

Help to keep me in my place.

So that all those who meet me,

See an ordinary face.

Help me search for the wisdom,

Important for survival...

Then show me how to share that,

Like some unique revival.

Help me find the understanding,

For people who are different...

Remind me that their thoughts and words,

Are worthy and coherent.

Teach me kindness for all others,

Accept they have a place..

Regardless of their origin,

Fret not about their race.

Keep me firmly connected,

With my neighbour, each new friend..

Feed me lots of humble pie,

Satisfy me till the end.

Give me the foresight that I need,

So that I recognize..

Good people aren't restricted to,

A color, shape or size.

Mind your own Business ....

Most of us create our own problems by interfering too often in others' affairs. We do so because somehow we have convinced ourselves that our way is the best way, our logic is the perfect logic and those who do not conform to our thinking must be criticized and steered to the right direction, our direction. This thinking denies the existence of individuality and consequently the existence of God. God has created each one of us in a unique way. No two humans beings can think or act in the same way. All men or women act the way they do because God within them prompts them that way. There is God to look after everything then why we are bothered?? Why we try to be God?? Yes we should guide or share our opinion but when required... One should mind his/her own business and keep Peace... :))

Real Beauty...

Real beauty is not in the color of eyes;

But innocence in the eyes...

Real beauty is not in the shape of the lips,

But the words spoken by them...

Real beauty is not in the complextion of thehands;

But the help done by those hands...

Real beauty is not in the gold anklets worn on feet;

But the brave steps taken by those feet...

Real beauty of a person is not in his/her physical parts;

But purity of his/her Heart...

One!

One song can spark a moment,

One flower can wake the dream.

One tree can start a forest,

One bird can herald spring.

One smile begins a friendship,

One handclasp lifts a soul.

One star can guide a ship at sea,

One word can frame the goal.

One vote can change a nation,

One sunbeam lights a room.

One candle wipes out darkness,

One laugh will conquer gloom.

One step must start each journey,

One word must start each prayer.

One hope will raise our spirits,

One touch can show you care.

One voice can speak with wisdom.

One heart can know what's true.

One life can make the difference,

you see it's up to You!

Don't ever forget how very Important You Are..
