Belonging

i belong to myself
my thoughts are my very own.
no one knows what i
am thinking of why.

my feelings are my own
the things i feel are more
a part of me than my right arm
to know the things i feel
is to know me.
i belong to other people
for when i share my
thoughts and let them find my feelings,
i have given them a part of myself
they own a part of me
i belong to them....

I love these lines-- for simply they aptly remind us of the fact-- God helps those who help themselves. Side by side, it also asks our character to be humane, to care for others differently abled, or those who are facing more and greater rubs of life than we are. The lines teaches us that we all belong -- TOGETHER.

lord, help me to give little pieces
of myself that i may belong to others.
but even more, help me to accept
pieces of others, that they, too,
may belong.

One With God

I will not leave myself today

I will be-- who I am
What I am-- with God
He will have
What I am
He will love
What I am
He will see
What I cannot see
Unable to see-- but quiet
In the truth-- in Him
WHO is ME.

The Poem expresses simply a purifying human union with The Divinity. Serene divine peace is any man's highest aim-- and in earthly life-- our daily lives can be attained. Inner peace comes with reflection that we must see in our mirror of conscience daily, to keep the images pure and in purity, see God. For then we are One with Him, in our divinity.

I simply loved these lines, which brings peace to my soul. Living a zestful life, is a blessing that each one of us can bless ourselves with it.

Loving and being yourself, makes the voyage of life a serene one, and ready to face all storms.
