BE FRAGRANT (A POEM)

BE FRAGRANT (A POEM)

Be fragrant while you are alive,

Be more fragrant than ambrosial blooms;

The Lord has made flowers sweet

Because He wants you to emulate them

As the crown of His creations.

If you are fragrant-full in life,

When you depart, others will miss you,

Shed a tear or two when they recall

Your good deeds, your concern and love.

Witness the change you see

When you retire from service;

Friends who woke you up from sleep

To consult or ask for a Reference,

Making you believe in your importance

Drop you as a useless back number.

Your phone number is off their list

As not worth wasting a Rupee over.

I laughed when this happened to me,

Though there was an aching pain

In some part of my heart

Over human fickle mindedness.

I was a Lion and an elder to all,

A wise Sage always freely available.

Now except my family and friends on MS

None think I am of any value.

I have learnt something,

Well, have you from my experience??
