As 2024 prepares to give birth to 2025
It’s time to be grateful to the one in labour and welcome the other with a ‘Hi!’
The year gone by may have been good to some and not so good for others,
2025 will follow the same dictum and shouldn’t be much of a bother.
People are being so consumed by advancing technology and AI
That they oft find themselves alone when they laugh or cry
The warmth of a compassionate heart or a sparkle in a smile is truly undervalued;
As people stay immobile on mobiles or imprisoned in “cell” phones, to put it crude .
Technology and screen time have their uses no doubt,
Use them as adjuncts and do not let human emotions fade out.
The true beauty and serenity of life exists beyond the screen time,
Take time to appreciate the chirping of the birds, the raindrop fall or the church bells chime.
Never let the throne of Mother Nature be usurped
Or the kindness of family, friends or another human get blurred!
As the saying goes
Don’t add years to your life, add life to your years
Enjoy nature, kindness, compassion and leave no room for tears!!!!!
