World is a family

World is a family
amidst quarrels and jealousy
together we prosper
divided we are enemies
being selfish we harm one another
and raise ourselves by helping others
mankind has a shared destiny
and mother earth nurtures everyone equally
our future depends upon our unity
there is no future in fragmented reality
there is a way for everyone of us
within the wholesome reality
everyone matters in the family!

Journey within

Travel makes one wiser

every place and experience 
it becomes part of one's life
enriching its width and reach
but the depth 
which love and compassion bring
to the inward journey
it knows no limit!

The New Year

It's the beginning

of the new year
so fresh and innocent
bubbling with joy

may we resolve
with a clean heart
to spread love and cheer
everyday of the year

may goodness abound
and negativity recede
old may make way
for the magic of the new

with dignity and grace
strength of togetherness
and toughness of character
may we raise the world

may friendships grow
the humanity glow
and with selflessness
may we pursue higher goals

may technology aid
the human endeavors
to subserve humanity
with a human face

may His grace abound
every soul be blessed
light may shine in every place

so we wish and pray
