Which has been the best period of your life?
From the first of June, 2018, I started writing Good Morning messages in the form of poems (Please read: ‘Good Morning Message #1‘).
The last such message was: ‘Good Morning Message #135‘.
Good morning Friends,
Which has been the best period of your life?
Would you say it was childhood or your youth?
Or was it when you chose your husband or wife?
Ah, you try but you don’t really know the truth.
The problem with such nostalgia is always this:
The times you hated in the past later look good.
Recalling those times without drudgery is bliss,
Their innate appeal is then clearly understood.
Many of us hated going everyday to school,
But in later life those times we wistfully recall;
So, let’s think about what is the golden rule:
Great times are those that once seemed banal.
In it there is a lesson for us to remember:
Try to find happiness in drudgery and in grind;
God gave us memory to have roses in December,
We discover beauty later to which we were blind.
Why can’t we see beauty in the present and now,
And enjoy that loveliness whilst we still can?
For that we have to open our heart and allow,
Us to believe God thinks what’s best for Man.
Enjoy each moment that is given to you to enjoy,
Don’t live in the distant future or some misty past;
Rejoice, for example, as a school-girl or school-boy,
And later, for whatever age, be an equal enthusiast.
Say with confidence: Now is the best period of my life.
