Gems In A Sea Of Humanity Poem by Arti Chopra

its a selfish world out there,
filled with people who don, t really care,
selfishness and selfcenteredness is the order of the day,
care fully we have to map out, our way,
so in this melee of the unfeeling,
dont loose your goodness my friend,
dont let the kindness ever end,
you are what you are,
sweet courteous and kind,
of a pure and loving mind,
be helpful caring and warm,
don't do anyone any harm,
remember goodness flows back to you,
God never forgets one who is true,

just as a wave comes back to the shore
you give a little, you get back even more,

all the good you have ever done,
is rewarded in Gods guise, sometime by someone,
recognize who is a true friend,
purity of soul, depth of character,
let it be the deciding factor,
choose your friends wisely and with care,
and life will be that much easier to bear,
man is known by the company he does keep,
as he sows so shall he reap,
just remember its an unpleasant world out there,
at times when you need tender loving care,
be it a spouse or any other true friend,
he is the only one such, who will help you in the end,
true friendship should have no conditions,
it is spontaneous, everlasting with no inhibitions,
it is a relationship that is pure and true
such friends are far and few,
hold on to such a bond and make it last,
strengthen the future and forget the past,
your friends are the gems that shine in the sea of humanity,
they are the simple truths in the sea of complexity,
they make life worthwhile and meaningful
they make simplicity and truth so powerful.
