GOOD MORNING MESSAGE #207

Yes or No?

From the first of June, 2018, I started writing Good Morning messages in the form of poems (Please read: ‘Good Morning Message #1‘).

The last such message was:’Good Morning Message #206‘.

Good Morning Friends,

Yes and No are the smallest replies,
But pack the world between them;
Their correct use makes one wise,
Incorrectly they can cause mayhem.
Both can spell hope and positivity,
Both can spell gloom and negativity.

Say Yes to Love, Mercy, and Life,
And you usher in rays of sunshine;
Say No to Lies, Violence and Strife;
And you extend someone lifeline.
The trick is in the manner of their use,
Both can be praise, both can be abuse.

Sometimes, we are not too sure,
A better response perhaps is ‘Maybe’;
For ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ it may be premature,
‘Maybe’ is for some time to ‘let it be’.
‘Maybe’ secretly asks for His intervention,
Before you can decide own intention.

Life gives you many an occasion,
When you can’t decide ‘No’ or ‘Yes’;
It is not an exercise in evasion,
When you ask God decision to bless.
Given time, He’d show a clear way,
And then you can have your final say.

Maybe God would show the way.

I have done a long stint in the Indian Navy that lasted for nearly thirty seven years; I rose as far as my somewhat rebellious and irreverent nature allowed me to. On retirement, in Feb 2010, the first thing that occurred to me, and those around me, was that I Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (you will find an article with this title in this blog) and hadn't lost all my noodles and hence thought of a blog titled 'This 'n That'. I later realised that every third blog is called 'This 'n That' and changed the name to 'Sunbyanyname'. I detest treading the beaten track. This blog offers me to air 'another way' of looking at things. The idea is not just to entertain but also to bring about a change. Should you feel differently, you are free to leave your comments. You can leave comments even when you agree and want to share your own experience about the topic of the blog post. Impudent or otherwise, I have never been insousciant and I am always concerned about the betterment of community, nation and the world. I hope the visitors of this blog would be able to discern it.
