Hi, Following is a poem written by a friend of mine. It is really meaningful. I liked and I guess so would you. Cheers, Vinayak Essence of life.... Not so long ago four wise men Were in the midst of an altercation What is the essence of life? Trying they were, to answer this question What is the essence of life? "Money" argued the rich man Without money on this earth You, my friend, have no worth What is the essence of life? "Knowledge" argued the intelligent man A man should have an intelligent brain Only then pride and respect can he attain What is the essence of life? "Courage" argued the brave man Not money, not knowledge can save A man who is not brave What is the essence of life? "Looks" argued the handsome man What good does intelligence do? If the world does not turn around and look at you? The argument seemed endless until Walking along they saw an old man The wise men thought to themselves If anyone can help us, he can After hearing them the old man smiled He took them to a grave "There lies my friend," he said Who was neither intelligent nor brave Good looking he was not called by any When he died, he died without a penny His life was spent in suffering and pain He did not cry, he did not complain He always had a smile on his face Of his sadness, he never left a trace He made others smile and laugh with him Though he himself was crying within That, my brothers, is the essence of life Happiness can be defined only by you Living for self, everyone can do Living for others is possible only for few There is no greater virtue in this world Than that of rectitude and humanity You define only one relationship in life The relationship of friendship and amity ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
