Art of living

NafisaSB

People don’t need pity

What they seek is ‘Empathy’

Sharing creates a positive glow

From which, happiness, in torrents, does flow

 

Care for your daughter

Care for your son

Care for your neighbours

Each and every one

 

First look after your own health

For it’s greater than your wealth

And once healthy of body, you’ll find

You are much more relaxed, and have peace of mind

 

Then pass on the baton to people around

A lot of mental peace, can thus be truly found

Do yoga, take walks, or go for a swim

And you will remain fit, and so trim

 

Always find time to remember your God

And bow in obeisance to the great Lord

It will help you to be compassionate and kind

And will surely grant you, great peace of mind

 

Do care for those who are all alone

Care for them, as if they were your own

If you look with love and care at all others

You will surely bond with them, as with your own brothers

 

Religion teaches us to share our daily bread

And look out for those who need to be fed

It exhorts us, to always, lend a helping hand

And in need, for our neighbours, always by them, stand

 

Caring for others, in their time of sorrow

Helps you both find a better morrow

Blessed are those who know how to give

For they have truly learnt the art with which to live

    A nice little throwback to those medieval didactic poems teaching people how to live well. Sometimes a break from modern style is interesting! Thanks.

      thank you
      i am definitely from the old school, since i still write in the old fashioned way.
      i still have to learn to write poems in the modern style, though both my children do so
