Here is a new writer I would like to introduce to you, Janet Chris Martin. Do let us know if you like our articles. We shall aim to post more often!
It is a bliss getting a seat in an almost empty train
And my eyes fall upon a beggar standing without much worry upon his face
In the midst of this earth’s race, I wonder what he must think
He is blind by eyes but not by heart
For he has earned his bit to make his day
And his smile says it all
Contentment comes not from things but from one’s soul
And as he stares into nothingness
Waiting to alight at the next station
He stands there, calm & composed
Without much worry upon his face
And In the midst of this earth’s race, I wonder what he must think
A ray of light he sees I hope
Does he have family or friends I wonder?
Or maybe a roof upon his head?
Would he have enough money to buy himself food or goods to meet his needs?
As I sit contemplating my thoughts
The station arrives and the blind beggar alights without a bother
And thus a lesson learnt in life
You need to be independent & self-content
For no matter how difficult it maybe, what matters is your soul and not worldly desires.
- Janet Chris Martin
