RAJ NANDY - *A WAITING GAME!

A WAITING GAME!

From the mother’s womb till the grave,
Our life is just simply one long wait!
You wait in the darkness to see the light,
Through your mother’s groans and delight!
You wait for the school bus and graduation
degree,
A momentary illusion of being free!
You wait to stabilize with a secured life,
To start a family with a loving wife!
Some wait to make a fresh new start,
Planning a life like some work of art!
You wait for the value of shares to rise,
The fiscal melt down gives you a suprise!
You wait for news of your family and
friends;
For the New Year to come as the old year
ends!
And when you pause to review your past,
Life seems to have flown by rather fast!
You wait with patience to meet the Lord,
That world of light way beyond!
Then, perhaps a long spell of countless years ……..
As some souls wait for rebirth with trepidation
and fears!
Only Moksha can save us from this wait,
But Moksha and Nirvana is in destiny and
fate! *
