Array ( [sid] => 168295 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => STOP TO THINK [time] => 2011-11-02 12:21:41 [hometext] => I never really paid too much attention to these things before, until I was told that I have cancer. Now I stop and think about them. [bodytext] => Did you ever stop to think
What it would be like,
Without the birds that sing?
Without the golden sun,
That surrounds everything?

Did you ever stop to think
What it would be like,
Without those trees so tall?
Without the falling leaves,
That always comes with Fall?

Did you ever stop to think
What it would be like,
Without the streams or lakes?
Without that babbling brook,
And the winding path it takes?

Did you ever stop to think
What it would be like,
Without those clouds so white?
Without those dark, dreary ones,
That turn the day into night?

Did you ever stop to think
What it would be like,
Without the wind that blows?
Without the cold and chill,
Every time it snows?

Did you ever stop to think
What it would be like,
Without flowers in the Spring?
Without the wonderful smell,
That the new blossoms bring?

Did you ever stop to think
What it would be like,
Without thunder and the rain?
Without the vast open fields,
Of ripe, golden grain?

Did you ever stop to think
What it would be like,
Without a valley or a hill?
Without snow capped mountains,
That tons of rocks can build?

Did you ever stop to think
What it would be like,
If all this was made by man?
He could never do it,
Only Mother Nature can.

Did you ever stop to think
What it would be like,
If your life was gone in a wink?
No, I'll bet you haven't,
So you'd
Better
Stop
And
Think.

Dear respected chacha,

A fine poem that advises
To just think for a change
To know more about life
Indeed, a very good advice

The poet has taken pains
To indicate the necessity
Of so many noble things
That make our life grand

I find in him a true poet
Equal to Byron and Keats
As he has extolled Nature
And also God who created.

With best wishes, Thanking you, Yours truly,

mvvenkataraman

Dear respected chacha,

I did not read the introductory lines
When I once again went to your poem
I read those lines and was shocked
Please forgive me for my carelessness

My dear, please vigorously pray
And fight against this ailment
To any God you can calmly pray
Please strongly protest and fight

In case you have damn will-power
You can overcome cancer dear
All in the mind only, I am sure
You must often write to be positive

I am absolutely confident that
You possess the power to win
I am praying to the mighty God
To enable you to win this ordeal

Prayer has enormous potential
It will shatter devil's machinations
Please you pray and let me also pray
Let us give a knock-out punch

With best wishes, Thanking you, Yours truly,

mvvenkataraman

without the darkness, we would not see the light. You can make it through this. Never give up.

A man once said...

"Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all..."
