Become as you will be

Diary entry by my father made on 6.6.2002

28

Become as you will be

Forget all that was

Stand alone yet be not apart

Give no offense yet be not defenseless

Acquire no more than you need

And you shall survive in plenty

Till twice tomorrow you shall wait

in silence. But deaf years of all

 those who turned away shall once more

hear your voice

29

"Courage is destiny"

Question not, but live and labour

Till the goal is won

Helping every feeble neighbour

Seeking help from none

Life is mainly froth and bubble

Two things stand like stone

Kindness in another's trouble

Courage in your own

30

Count no day lost

In which you waited your turn

Took your share

And sought advantage of none

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.
