When You Are

 Young,

 

 

 

when you are  Young...

u have all the time to grow !

u have all the time to grow !

u have all the gateways open before you ;

u have so many roads to choose;

u have all the time to go walk find thru them;

u have all the choices to speak;

your tongue and your words

you chose are yours;

once you form your habits

they will form your pathways, your alleys,

or your highways;

they will come for a long way

shaping your life

(or destroying your life if your habits were bad !)

you can tell sweet loving graceful things

to others( who deserve it)

and you will be loved by all;

you are like a young tree;

you can bend your body mind and soul

and reach for your goals;

when you are young

you have all the time grow!

God gives u so !

when u are not young

your growth would have stopped.

that blessing is taken away.

that's why

when you are young

you have all the time grow!

when you are  Young...
 

u have all the time to grow !

Watch it !

It is the investment you make.

It is the capital you put in.

Money, time, and relatives will run away.

 

Imagine it is a young plant.

You should .,

Pour water;

Put natural nutrients at its root;

Prevent worms, insects eating

or spoiling its growth.

so that this plant will grow into

a large tree

it should give shelter to all

it should give solace to those

who come walking in the sweltering sun

like the banyan tree.

when you are  Young...

u have all the time to grow !

Time! Money ! Hard Work !

Don't Waste It !

Don't Waste It !

Don't Abuse it !

Don't Abuse it !

Don't offend it!

Don't listen to your people

who ask you to ignore it.

who make you into a consumer.

who make u their legal heir

for consumption.

when you are  Young...

u have all the time to grow !

HAVE All The time for yourself.

Don't give it to others.

Don't allow others

to make a peanut

out of your time.

Others may sputter, spatter

your time.

They may have all the wealth

and may not need to think.

when you are  Young...

u have all the time to grow !

Don't allow some one

to take away your time.

Your time is yours !

Feel it ! Touch It!

Every hour of it

should be spent in the making

of a strong SELF

indestructible by wind, Tsunami,

fire storms or catarinas;

even if u get involved with someone,

got involved with someone

who may take away your self

by its root ! (they can)

try to spend some time

in the making

of a strong SELF !

 

when you are  Young...


u have all the time to grow !

sit in a corner of the park and think

about life( take care! don't be unseen)

when you are  Young...

u have all the time to grow !

 

when you are  Young...

the Satan is watching.

Wealth is a Satan.

It will make you lethargic.

It will kill your quest, ambition!

It will kill your self accentuation.

So take care of these marauders

of your self.

be simple.

be alone.

know yourself.
 

u have all the time to grow !

when you are  Young...
 

the Satan is watching.

i simply mean

there are other attractions,

fancies pulling you away

from your goals.

if u get carried away;

u r one of the many

who got carried away.

U have all the time to grow !

when you are  Young...

aim to be one of the few

upright , be straight to yourself ;

always respect time, money and hard work !

Honour your SELF !

u have all the time to grow !

   Two roads diverged in a wood,

and I took the one less travelled by,
and that has made all the difference.

-Robert Frost
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I had all the time   for myself and to grow ! I always wanted to take the one less travelled by. I thought I will find some thing new some thing precious. And I found many.

I grew up in Chennai city from 18yrs.
And that was a blessing for me. Cause  I had to access to British Council, US Library and the Local Libraries.

The books haunted my imagination. I grew up alone, like Emily Dickinson. And I had ample time to think about myself and my life. How to understand life at that age. That was the big question. 
The age of adolescence is a blessing
in many ways. It is also a curse in many
ways, I thought. It was a blessing, the
whole world was open to me to choose.
It was a curse, because I had too many
challenges before me. My life was getting into an adult life.
I was starting to be respected by all as adults. My words were watched and listened to.

I was beginning to be recognised.
I gathered more from outside my home.
I learned many things from books of
wonderful men like, H D Thoreau., Walt Whitman, Emerson, Frost.
They all made my life interesting.
