Hello Friend Poem by malini kadir

Actions often speak louder than words
I have a friend
he never calls
because he guessed;
I am unwilling
to have anything;
to do with him openly...
life is like that;

sometimes it is better;
to ask the concerned person....
instead of making guesses
guesses can go wrong too you know?

what? what to ask?
to call up and talk to me?
you are funny person....
the fact that he does not ring;

could be because he finds me boring
can not find any thing common to speak
or any of the hundred reasons under the sun....
He is a family man;
how can I disturb?

I care for him to be happy
so I pray for him...
to have a nice life
just like I pray for my brother, who is abroad,
who all can not be with us and we miss them...
we can include in prayers
god will make them happy and care for them is my approach...

philosophical again

yes perhaps at forty plus
when you can not win; you can grin
when you hurt; you can pray
when hubby scolds, you understand it is his tension....
when you child errs; you give him room to err,
then out grow rather than curb and aggravate
when daughter needs space to reorganise
you stand by her and face a neighbourhood;
which calls you mad
all this seems mighty OK
when you have the larger picture in mind...

today's hardships tomorrows fruits
why curse the world, fight people?
when you yourself can help your own child;
To get the better of his own draw backs?

Back? Back to square one?
life is a long run...
no one is going any where
we all have to face the other side of the same coin
years later

why short cuts?
patch works?
because we are human
and we need support systems for emotional well being
we feel better with like minded people

you gone?
sorry
as usual a monologue...
take care
let me not bore you;
by dumping my opinions on you...
take care,
loads of affections
