Arthur Ashe, the legendary Wimbledon player was dying of AIDS which he got due to infected blood he received during a heart surgery in 1983. From world over, he received letters from his fans, one of which conveyed: ‘Why does GOD have to select you for such a bad disease’?

I GIVE TO YOU
A fire to light inside your heart,
to feel the warm embers glow.
A piece of the sun’s warm rays,
to bask in it’s fiery show.

When troubles come your soul to try
You love the friend who just stands by.
Perhaps there’s nothing he or she can do
The thing is strictly up to you.

It’s amazing what can truly happen,
How your life can be so grand;
When you give up trying on your own
And let an angel hold your hand.

Perhaps we have not counted
All our blessings one by one;
Perhaps we have not bothered
To remember whence they come;

If God granted you…70 YEARS OF LIFE…
YOU WOULD SPEND:
23 years sleeping
14 years working
8 years at the television
8 years in amusement
6 years eating

For you, I wish good health
For you, I wish happiness and peace of mind
For you, I wish success in your personal life and in your career
For you, I wish the vanishing of hard feelings
among family and friends.

First impressions are lasting, and somehow you never forget that first meeting.
The pain and agony you may have been
experiencing, and your times of sadness
suddenly changes to sheer delight,
and laughter.
Then you realize, vow! This person is a friend!

Sometimes, we are in love in the idea of falling in love.
Loving the illusion of having or missing someone.
It’s alright to feel happy through other people,
but don’t get dependent on achieving happiness by being with someone.

The important thing in life is not to be bitter over life’s difficulties.
We should learn to let go of the past and recognize that everyday won’t be sunny…
