Ever present past..
I’ve got too much on my plate
Don’t have no time to be a decent lover
I hope it isn’t too late
Searching for the time that has gone so fast
The time that I thought would last
My ever present past
I’ve got too much on my mind
I think of everything to be discovered
I hope there’s something to find
Searching for the time that has gone so fast
The time that I thought would last
My ever present past
The things I think I did
I do, I think I did
The things I think I did
When I was a kid
I couldn’t understand a word that they were saying
But still I hung around and took it all in
I wouldn’t join in with the games that they were playing
It went by, it went by, in a flash
It flew by, it flew by, in a flash
There’s far too much on my plate
Don’t have no time to be a decent lover
I hope it’s never too late
Searching for the time that has gone so fast
The time that I thought would last
My ever present past
The things I think I did
I do, I think I did
The things I think I did
When I was a kid
When I was a kid
- A Paul McCartney song
Thank you Pratap for sending me this one..
Amma.. I love you very much.
You told me what was right from wrong..
You taught me what was selfless love,
You could only be a gift from above..
You gave me hope when I was low,
You wiped my tears when they did flow ..
You picked me up when I was shattered,
Then only your love was all that mattered..
Your love for me is one of a kind,
A person like you is hard to find..
Like you, you are the only one,
Thank you Amma for all you have done..
Today I m no longer a child by measure of years,
Yet I m often comforted by
The sweet remembrances of all those times..
I d still like to hold your hand now and then,
And recapture the kind of closeness that
Only a Mother and child can share..
Amma.. I love you very much…
Prayer …
I was made weak that I might learn humbly to obey.
I asked for health that I might do greather things;
I was given infirmity that I might do better things.
I asked for riches that I might be happy;
I was given poverty that I might be wise.
I asked for power that I might have the praise of men;
I was given weakness that I might feel the need of God.
I asked for all things that I might enjoy life;
I was given life that I might enjoy all things.
I got nothing that I had asked for,
but everything that I had hoped for.
Almost despite myself my unspoken prayers were answered;
I am, among all humans, most richly blessed.”
