Touch To Transform


Monday Muse completes 15 continuous years today. It all started as a series of articles on the JCI India National President (2004) Rajesh Chandak’s theme ‘Touch to Transfrom’. Here is a poem on the theme written on the first day of 2004.. 

let go of the past… and those moments old…
cast yourself afresh… in a brand new mould!
get set to rise… on newer horizons…
“touch to transform” future generations!

Yes! we can do it… “touch to transform”…
first ourselves within… and every person along!
don’t wait for later, who knows if things remain…
”touch to transform” with your love… again and again!

“Touch to transform”… sure this is true...
life is an opportunity… with moments few!
don’t let it waste…lest you regret later…
now while you breathe, may your roots go deeper!

The luxury of a palace cannot buy you sleep…
oceans of wealth cannot quench a thirst deep!
greed pulls you down, happiness sets you free…
peace of mind transforms adversity into luxury!

“Touch to transform” the differences around…
through sincere sustained efforts, real treasures are found!
it is said so well, that time will not wait…
and that fortune favours feet, that cross failure’s gate !

Yes! we can do it… “touch to transform”…
first ourselves within… and every person along!
Don’t wait for later, who knows if things remain…
”touch to transform” with your love… again and again!
