Stay Connected
When I’m dead.*
*Your tears will flow*
*But I won’t know*
*Cry with me now instead*.
*You will send flowers*,
*But I won’t see*
*Send them now instead*
*You’ll say words of praise*
*But I won’t hear*.
*Praise me now instead*
*You’ll forgive my faults,*
*But I won’t know*…..
*So forget them now* *instead*.
*You’ll miss me then,*
*But I won’t feel.*
*Meet me now, instead.*
*You’ll wish You could have spent more time with me*, *Spend it now instead*
*When you hear I’m gone, you’ll find your way to my house to pay condolence but we haven’t even spoken in years*.
*Look , listen and reply me now.*
*Spend time with every person around you, and help them with whatever you can to make them happy, your families, friends and acquaintances.* *Make them feel Special because you never know when time will take them away from you forever.*
*Alone I can ‘Say’ but* *together we can ‘Talk’*.
*Alone I can ‘Enjoy’ but together we can ‘Celebrate*’
*Alone I can ‘Smile’ but together we can ‘Laugh’*
*That’s the BEAUTY of Human Relations*.
*We are nothing without each other*
*So Stay Connected!!*

Thank you Dharma,
I agree wholeheartedly with you my friend
There had never a truer word, being said
Must thank Sam,for giving a hint & a method,
To express our feelings to mates, nearly a decade.

Thank Dharma for sharing these touching verses by Tagore.Closer home, it was Tagore who inspired Ananda Samarakoon to write the words of ” Namo Namo Maatha”.It is said that the tune was created by Tagore.! Eddie

Dharma,
SO So True words & Sentiments. When you read it, you think how true words they are. We need to follow those thoughts. I do try, a lot, but fall short.
Thanks for great quote. WIMAL.
