Threads Of Memories

Memories are like books Storing your life's experiences in long threads. Some memories are sweet, some are bitter Some are engraved deep, some are shallow Some give you strength, some arouse your fear Memories folded in life's pages Are our lessons to recall at later stages When we recall those courage and resilience That stood the exams of time And the love and care that helped us sail through the sea of strife We become thankful to God for His blessings We recall our loving family and friends Who stood by our side in moments of darkness We also recall our enemies and foes Who tried to defeat and demean us Yet we came out stronger by such struggles Life's tests and turbulences taught us to become a fighter They also taught us how to remain calm in adverse And how to treat pleasure and pain in equanimous. @Bharati Nayak
