Don't Lose The Tender Touch

Don't lose the tender touch,

My friend.

I know life is unfair

I know you've known despair.

Life hurts and haunts and

Kills your joy

It messes and snatches

Your favorite toy

But like a stringent parent

It only means to teach

Lessons in love and truth

In bliss beyond our reach

You have it in you

It'll always remain

Don't lose the tender touch, 

My friend.

I remember the day

When you'd relentlessly pray

That when you woke up

Your love had come back

You opened your eyes up to pain

Reality seemed like a devilish trap

Not trap, 'twas but a test

With no wrong or right.

Go ahead, don't fear

Win the test of life

Love flows through you

It has no end

Don't lose the tender touch

My friend

Each failure, each step taken wrong

Is His attempt, in making us strong

Remove the facade

Let love touch you

The world is waiting

Kiss the brightest hue

I know a door has closed forever

But don't you hear the knocks on others?

Flash your brightest smile, 

Wear your heart on your sleeve

It won't break, don't fear

To many out there, you're precious and dear

Feel, and breathe and

Preserve the essence

And never ever lose the tender touch, 

My friend.

To all those who feel life has been unfair, this is my plea. Stop for a second, and count your blessings. You will never know how fortunate you are till you see another one survives on less than half of what you have been bestowed with. Gandhiji's Talisman has a relevance in our world. Consider yourself fortunate if you can touch someone's life and make him smile. Extend the horizon's of your life to accommodate those many people who love you, who want to be loved by you. Flash your warmest smile to them, and give them an unexpected hug, a careful kiss. Make them believe you'll be there even if you fear otherwise. Don't cage all that love inside you. Let it flow around, let it touch lives. If you've been hurt, you would know how feels. Being hurt should empower you for protecting someone else from hurt, for applying balm an someone else's wounds. Live and love. Its only one life which all get, dear friend.
