Why do you cry?

Why do you cry?

P K Routray

If reasons are hundred to cry,

one hundred one reasons are there to smile, no one can deny.

Cry you for losing wealth,

did you come bringing them with you to this earth?

Are they more valued than air, water and sunlight?

Available are those free without any struggle and fight.

Cry you for losing a kith and kin, dear to your heart.

Man is mortal, him one day certainly you have to part.

With cycle of birth and death many loved ones will come and go,

everything on the earth is ephemeral and is His illusory show.

Smile at love you get and give.

Smile at acts you forget and forgive.

Smile at the service you render.

Smile at your heart keeping it tender.

Smile at beauty of nature around you.

Smile at sounds of birds and insects too.

Smile at the stars, the sun and the moon

Smile at his creation, everything you see and receive is His boon.

Can your cry change the destiny and harmony of the creation?

Even tsunami with all mishaps are part of his symphony, hence cry for none.
