Have you ever?


Have you ever been weak?
And ask yourself why?
Have you ever been so strong ?
And wonder where it all comes from?
Have ever failed?
And feel how it feels to fail?
      Or you just comfort those who fail but you know nothing about it?
Have you ever stayed hungry and thirsty or fast the whole day
And understand how it feels to have nothing in your pocket?
So that you feel what a bagger feels?
Have you ever been to cell?
And inhale the stinking hot air in it?
So that you imagine how it is to send an innocent one there?
Have you ever fallen in love to someone who does not deserve it
Have ever felt like love is not for you?
Have you ever met someone you wish you had met earlier?
Have you ever been nice to someone?
And fell how it is when one is relieved because of you good deeds?
Have you ever been the one to tell some one you can do it
And see how they work hard to achieve?
Have ever been appreciated, that your contribution is valuable?
Have you ever been a log that someone holds not to sink
And later throw it after they cross a turbulent river?
Have ever been a door that someone passes through to their bright future?
I have ever, I have ever so I know how all this feels
Yes i know how it does
Have you ever?

Do not stand at my grave and weep


Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there,i do not sleep
I am a thousands winds that blow
I am a diamond glints on the snow
I am the sunlight on snow 
I am the sunlight on ripened grain
I am the gentle autumn rain
When you weaken in the morning's hush

I am the swift uplift rush
Of quite birds in circle flight 
I am the soft stars that shine at night
Do not stand at my grave and cry
I am not there.I did not die
I finished my journey we are all heading there
