This poem is very close to my heart.. I dedicate this to my Lord above and my Late Grandfather who is sitting right beside my Lord.. My Papaji (grandfather) was, is and will always remain the inspiration behind all that I have ever written.. Even when I was little, some of the poems I wrote were ridiculously outrageous, yet he heard each one as religiously.. Everyone teased me and poke fun at me all the time and when couldn’t handle it I just gave up the idea.. Papaji came and asked me whether I was angry or upset at him since I would write something everyday and it had been two weeks now. When I told him the reason he got very upset and he told me that poetry, music, singing etc is not everyone’s cup of tea because it is gifted by God and by giving up I was throwing it back in his face instead of trying harder..

Oops!!!!  I just kept rambling on there without realizing.. Anyway my Granddad is also an epitome of godliness and now that he too is an IMMORTAL being I am referring to both of them in the poem.. I hope you all like it.. Please do feel free to comment I would love to hear what you’ll have to say good or bad..

I’ve Seen

For all the times that; I let myself be led by desire,

I've only seen my heart on fire.

I’ve seen hearts that hate & Souls that only want to conquer.

For each time that; I’ve dared to love all over again,

I only found hurt, I’ve only seen pain.

In each I’ve seen days so lonely;

I thought would never end.

I've seen myself shatter in pieces so small;

I felt I would never mend.

For each minute that: I waited for loved ones to return,

I’ve seen every minute pass like a million hours,

With unknown faces glaring back through the dark.

I’ve seen stares so cold, it chilled my h heart.

But throughout all these times, moments and days,

I’ve never seen GOD run away from me;

I’ve never seen his LOVE drift away from me.

I've never seen him lift his Hand from off my head,

I never felt my nerves go numb nor my hopes dead. 

I've seen His-

Halo, Shining his UNDYING light

Through my darkest ways

I've seen dreams come true,

I've seen the miracles Faith can do.

I've seen his grace and I’ve felt his embrace.

I've seen my Tears in his eyes;

& HIS SMILE on my FACE

Good People!!!

Be Blessed!!!

Warm Regards,

Aarti Kapoor!!!
