Once ...

Once I asked...
"Oh Lord tell me....Why does it happen only with me
that the hard ways of life accompany me?"..
On every path that  I went, wasn't straight but bent,
Every U turn I took with care, left me with little hope...with greater despair..
A journey which did ,never end,nor  was it ever smoother at the other end...
Often I wonder ..am I heading the right way?..where happiness lay?
because  trouble's always at bay..
Was it right ,whatever I  did?
Or do I live the consequence of every misdeed..
....
A little did I know what awaited me... I was about to be free
because ,then  came a path.. straight and wide..
a path which then, I travelled with pride...,
every trip was  a trip so smooth  that, the pain of the rocky roads tht I was on,
Now it was all gone..


....
I travelled tht path with much ease... no strong winds but a cool breeze
This went on  for so long, tht I began to feel ill at ease!
This situation kept me pondering...till I asked again
"Oh Lord I have always  wanted this..but wat's amiss??"
....
Then came a reply from thy holiness ..
"The pain of the rocky roads is what you  miss..,
Life's neither just pleasure,nor just pain,
Its all about a  balance which you will eventually attain...
Keep in mind ,with every  wound comes pain but keep in mind, after every loss there's gain...
With every fall there's a rise..because,With every fall a lesson you learn.
There's no greater pleasure than when you spring back  and return
Situations harsh and kind..always judge mankind...
There's always some pain in pleasure and pleasure in pain!
Its not always about the path you venture on..Its always about the goals you attain!!
