Why?

After all Who decides who will get love in life?

God's Loan

"I'll loan you for a little time
a child of mine," He said,
"For you to love the while he lives,
and mourn for when he's dead,

It may be six or seven years,
or twenty-six or seven,
But you will, till I call him back,
take care of him for Me?

He'll bring his charms to gladden you,
and should his stay be brief,
You'll have his lovely memories
as solace for your grief.

I cannot promise he will stay,
since all from earth return,
But there are lessons taught down there
I'll want this child to learn.

I've looked this wide world over
in my search for teachers true,
And from the throng that crowd life's lanes,
I have selected you.

Now, will you give him all your love,
nor think the labor vain,
Nor hate Me when I come to call
to take him back again?

I fancied that I heard you say,"
Dear Lord, Thy will be done,
For all the joy Thy child shall bring,
the risk of grief we'll run.

We'll shelter him with tenderness,
we'll love him while we may,
And for the happiness we've known,
forever grateful stay.

But should the angels call for him
much sooner than we planned,
We'll brave the bitter grief that comes
and try to understand.

And I'm not there to see;

If the sun should rise and find your eyes all filled with tears for me;

I wish so much you wouldn't cry the way you did today,

While thinking of the many things,

we didn't get to say.

I know how much you love me,

As much as I love you.

And each time that you think of me,

I know you'll miss me too.

But when tomorrow starts without me,

Please try to understand,

That an angel came and called my name,

And took me by the hand.

And said my place was ready,

In heaven far above,

And that I'd have to leave behind,

All those I dearly love.

But as I turned to walk away,

A tear fell from my eye,

For all my life, I'd always thought,

I didn't want to die.

I had so much to live for,

So much left yet to do.

It seemed almost impossible,

That I was leaving you.

I thought of all the yesterdays,

The good ones and the bad,

I thought of all the love we shared,

And all the fun we had.

If I could relive yesterday,

Just even for a while,

I'd say good-bye and kiss you,

And maybe see you smile.

But then I fully realized,

That this could never be,

For emptiness and memories,

Would take the place of me.

And when I thought of worldly things,

I might miss come tomorrow,

I thought of you, and when I did,

My heart was filled with sorrow.

But when I walked through heaven's gates,

I felt so much at home.

When God looked down and smiled at me,

From His great golden throne,

He said "This is eternity,

And all I've promised you."

Today your life on earth is past,

But here life starts anew.

I promise no tomorrow,

But today will always last.

And since each day's the same way,

There's no longing for the past.

You have been so faithful,

So trusting and so true.

Though there were times you did some things, You knew you shouldn't do.

But you have been forgiven,

and now at last you're free.

So won't you come and take my hand,

and share my life with me?

So when tomorrow starts without me,

don't think we're far apart.

For every time you think of me,

I'm right here, in your heart.

Now a days what ever we do or think, we have some expectations in return , is that the reason for all the stress and running around in life....

Get up in the morning make meals for family..in expectation some day some body else from family (brother, inlaws, spouse ...)will help or make at least one meal or at least come to kitchen just for company sake or wipe my tears because of that silly onion..Nobody comes...... pain...is it due to EXPECTATION ?

Family member thinks our new bahu has come we brought her in house for the sole purpose of taking care of the house and son what ever is she doing is her duty and she is always doing something wrong or what is not expected for her role, like wearing jeans, adding more salt, less salt not serving on time...list goes on ...pain...is it due to EXPECTATION?

Do what ever is the best in life for the kids and when they grow up they say what you have done extra in life for me ? What ever you have done was your duty even a dog takes care of their babies!!!!! They go and get busy in there own life and tension.....pain...is it due to EXPECTATION?

Kids come home from school behaves the best he can, studies does everything what ever is expected of him or what ever we know is good at the end of day he expects you to buy a gift and if you dont the old behaviour returns.....pain....is it due to EXPECTATION ?

Go to the office give your best for the whole day, whole month, whole year you dont get any promotion or increment but your colleagues gets it either at the same place or he has switched to a better company with huge income, what I got from my work...depression...pain....was it EXPECTATION ?

Boss always expects the best from you, if you perform good he will feel you are paid for it. for a single mistake on your part he will simply blast and make you feel like a dirt or the worst person on earth....AGAIN EXPECTATION ?

So many expectations everywhere from everyone from every single aspect of life....Can't we leave all this EXPECTATIONS and just live the life, just for its own beauty and enjoy whatever we have ....with out EXPECTATIONS
