How to live life

Diary entry by my father date 1.6.2002

And now I have lived: I know not how long

But still I can join in a cup and a song

And whilst with both hands 

I can hold the glass steady

Here's to thee, my hero, my laddie

10

Some will tell you

It doesn't matter

That is a lie

Everything, every single thing matters

And

Nothing good happens fast

11

That I loved with all my strength

To my soul's full depth and length

Careless if my heart may break

That I sang as children sing

Fitting tune to everything

Loving life for it's own sake

12

When I am all alone

Then my thoughts flutter around me

In glimmering host

Some dressed in silver

This blog is dedicated to the memory of my dear father Jaswant Singh Matharu.

In his twilight years he maintained diaries which are a glimpse into his sensitive soul.

I share the pages of one of his diaries here.
