The Never Say Die Club

 To feel good you've got to think good! A positive upbeat happy outlook goes a long way to rejuvenate you not just emotionally, but also alters your demeanor, your expression...it makes you 10 times more attractive!   And the never say die attitude is one of the strongest premises to build on your emotional strength!  

here's a poem I penned a few months ago that tells you what I mean in a better way...

A little seed carried away

Flying - flying... at the mercy of strong winds

And here she was dropped in a verdant forest

Trees everywhere...trees towering into the sky...

Their thick trunks so huge... nothing to see beyond...

Grass so green and tall you couldn’t see the wet black slippery ground below

 Why are you here? ...The trees asked. Why are you here?

Neither will you grow...

Nor will you flower...

And no fruits in you, that taste sweet and luscious

We have them! We are manna of the forest

You... a diminutive seed...Hah!!!

Go sit in clay pots that decorate people’s houses...

This forest is for us... monarchs of flora...

The seed was sad

She cried

Silent tears rolled down her smooth raindrop shape and moistened the ground...

At night, the eerie winds scared her... the animals hurt her...

There she lay forgotten, neglected, trampled by animals, ridiculed by towering flowering shrubs...

She was powerless and unprotected by the very forces that had flung her there...

But one fine day in her sleep, a gentle breeze seemed to whisper in her ears... “Stay, I will come for you!”

The first raindrop of monsoon bathed her and crooned, “Little one, live on!”

A tiny ray of happiness flickered from her very soul... It permeated her being...

She suddenly felt stronger, she suddenly felt hopeful;

She looked up as the gentle drops of rain splattered her

And then it happened!

A shiny green shoot leaped out of her being in search of sunlight... and the little seed settled firmly into the soft moist earth...

And from that day on she feared none... the big plants laughed, she laughed too

The trees scoffed, she didn’t mind them too

And the days rolled into weeks... the leaves spread out... taller...taller

And the weeks rolled into months... the plant became stronger ... stronger

And today here she stands, her huge yellow flowers flirting with sunlight... their gentle swish... a dance to catch the glistening sunrays

The trees stared in awe... The seed had stayed on...

Now she lived on... a pretty yellow diversion,  

The Sunflower Queen in the green!  

                                                          

I would like you to suggest a name for my poem!

Waiting...
