A surviving veteran of the Korean War Sohan

God give me all you can

Whether it’s the pleasure or pain

At your hands I crave to understand

The new world bestowed to me in baptism

Oh let me suffer for your will is greater than mine

As I meditate on it day and night

Singing praise to you my Lord

Give me liberty or death

In your absence, I will be silence

As I grow my patience with each hardship that I face

I become a strong and resilient man

As I belong to the special unit of lawyers armed with evidence

To bring justice to victims

Whether it is good or ill

Still my will is not to be blamed

Because I have been patiently waiting for all these years

To maintain my dominance

As I am the sole survivor

Because I have seen the hell while living here in the earth.

Save the love for the ocean; be renewed by the waves

Thy glory is higher than my appetite for food

Which was allayed by strawberry and banana smoothie today

Tomorrow is stronger in its own term

So, let tomorrow come with all love

Because tomorrow will worry about itself

Thy love is displayed in my innocent eyes

As they blink with fullness

Tomorrow I want to see ocean again

With heart full of love

And a sense of calmness

I want to close the gap between the ocean and me

As I walk towards the shore where sand meets water

I want to make a daily habit to see the shore

Because I love the ocean which I am blessed with more impeccable view

While the fall slowly approaches

I want the summer to last longer

Twice as more as last year

Because I am in search of ultimate happiness

Waiting for the lightning to strike the sand

And a glass to form

In a rare glimpse of nature’s fulgurites

Which provide stunning sights!

Neither gold nor silver nor bronze medal

Of Olympics shall outclass the power of Simon Biles

You’re already the greatest and brightest gymnast in the world

Than on the gymnasium floor of Olympic Stadium

When a minor injury derailed your career

And tiny tweaks destroy your hard work

Remember the time you were child and persevered to be what you are today

Neither injury nor hit shall turn you to dust

You are the light of this world

Against racial discrimination and poverty

You shall fight to bring justice

Praise be to you

As you push hard to recover, your praise will find a room in my heart

And in the hearts of millions of Americans

Who are cheering for you from their home behind televisions

That your stellar record will last for generations to come

So, till the judgement day that you arise

You’re immortal in my eyes and dwell in the eyes of spectators

Oh How much more do I love your beauty

By your sweet curls of hair that is glittering?

The roses shine in red despite sweltering heat

For the fresh smell, which captivates everyone’s attention

The roses bloom full like cherry blossoms in spring

As the freshness of roses spreads in the air

While hanging on such thorns

The summer is halfway

The beauty of roses is their virtue

To put on a show like no other

In the eyes of the rose

The rose is the world

They never fade away despite getting old

Die they shall not because they are gold

And so are their sweet odors

Worthy and adorable are roses

While they may depart, they disseminate the truth

That rose petals lead to distillation

Which can be turned into perfumes

To gift to significant other wearing a favorite costume.

Water droplet creating ripples

Who am I, what am I made of ?

Those millions of atoms shadows on I tend

Since, every atom is a tiny drop like water

And represents my building block

Describe water and metawater

Which is a counterfeit of water

The former makes my body an art of beauty

And with the new outfit, I look new in my old body

Speaking of the season, I enjoy fall

When we harvest crops like corn and soybeans

Then, there is spring where cherry blossoms leave beautiful scenes

And I am blessed in every shape I know

Thanks to the big bang theory for the creation of universe

I am a part of it grown due to natural selection

Because I have a constant heart like none

So am I the rich who has been blessed

Can bring happiness to others with my treasure

My treasure are my colored leaves

Because I am a tree that lose leaves in fall

For the pleasure of people

Therefore, I belong to the festival of trees

Where people pay homage to me

As I turn from leaves into tissue paper

Like stones that turn into house

I dry people’s face and make them special

As seasons change, leaves grow and change in color

Leaving people with awe and wonder

By mesmerizing fall colors and immense smell

Blessed are leaves whose worthiness give purpose

Thanks to the nature as trees triumph and leaves fall

Giving rise to encouragement and hope to all!
