An Interesting Poem

Dear Children,

Here is an interesting poem for you.

With Love,
Amma-Naana




"It Was Spring
But It Was Summer I Wanted
The Warm Days
And The Great Outdoors

It Was Fall
But It Was Winter I Wanted
The Beautiful Snow
And The Joy Of The Holiday Season

It Was Winter
But It Was Spring I Wanted
The Warmth
And The Blossoming Of Nature

I Was A Child
But It Was Adulthood I Wanted
The Freedom
And The Respect

I Was 20
But It Was 30 I Wanted
To Be Mature
And Sophisticated

I Was Middle-Aged
But It Was 20 I Wanted
The Youth
And The Free Spirit

I Was Retired
But It Was Middle Age I Wanted
The Presence Of Mind
Without Limitations

My Life Was Over
But I Never Got What I Wanted"

"The problem is not the problem; the problem is your attitude about the problem. Happiness is an attitude. We either make ourselves miserable, or happy and strong. The amount of work is the same.”
