"The bitterest tears shed over graves are for words left unsaid and deeds left undone."
Harriet Beecher Stowe.
Most people need to hear those Three Little Words. Once in a while,they hear it just in time.
This little story is about someone known to me.I thought of putting it down since I want everyone to realise how important these "Three Little Words" could be to someone.She was a patient of cancer,in her last stage.She was romantic,read romance novels just like most of the other women in the world.She was married for 30 years to a man who often called her "a silly woman."She would still say that her husband loves her but has never been one to say he does.She said that she would give anything if he'd say "I LOVE YOU",but it was just not in his nature.
Certain things like receiving sentimental cards and love letters is the part of a woman's nature.Every woman needs to be reassured by those whom she loves.I believe this is necessary once in a while to rekindle the spark of romance in your life.
Her husband was once asked if he ever said that he loves his wife.He wore a funny expression on his face and replied,"I don't have to,she knows I do."
Though she knew he did but she really needed to hear what she meant to him all those years.
Next day in the hospital I saw her husband leaning up against the wall,staring at the floor.I knew she was no more.She had died that morning.Before she died he told her how much he loved her...and loved being married to her.He was happy because she had smiled on hearing it.Later his face was wet with tears.
I went inside to say my final good-bye to her.There on the bedside table was a large Valentine card from her husband.You know,the sentimental kind that says,"To my wonderful wife.......I LOVE YOU."
It touched even the innermost cord of human warmth in me.It taught me the gift of giving without expecting.No matter what relationship it is once in a while we should say these *THREE LITTLE WORDS*. I am sure they would never hurt anyone.Never take the ones close to you for granted.Make them feel special before it is too late.
"These kind words can be short and easy to speak,but their echoes are truly endless."
Mother Teresa.

STARS-They silently say so much!
STaR lIghT,StAr BrIghT...
"Perhaps they are not the stars,but rather openings in heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy."
Lying on the cool grass on a summer night,under the starry sky...I would miss the world to experience such a feeling.One night I was lying down,looking up,trying to communicate with the silver lights(stars).I realised that they say so much and teach so many lessons.Everything in this world is chimerical.Anyone can easily hurt you and walk out of your life but stars are great companions in times of desolation.
We say looks are often deceptive and stars make us believe that it is true.These "HOT BALLS OF FIRE" which appear as "SHINY BALLS" teach us that we should not trust and judge people by their outer appearances just the way we judge these stars to be.They convey a deeper meaning that a person's HeArt aNd SoUl aRe MoRe IMpoRtaNt THaN LOOks!
The stars send us light,the light which intoxicates us and have a hypnotic affect.This is the light which one sees in the eyes of their loved ones.The light which which the parents see in their new born baby.This is the light through which they converse.This light has answers even to the questions unasked.
There are countless stars in the sky just like human beings in this world.We stay close to our family and friends just like stars stay in a cluster close to eachother.No matter how close yet so far.Innumerable in number yet so lonely.They remind us that no matter we have millions of people around us but in reality we are all alone.We were born alone and we'll die alone.It is just YOU and your SOUL.
The stars are inaccesible.Even after putting great endeavours we can't reach them,but they remind us of our goals for which we have to struggle the same way.
The stars remain in the sky throughout but it's the sunlight that blocks them from being viewed.
Though we know they are in the sky still we wait for them to reappear at night.The amount of ecstasy they bring with their presence the same happiness is derived by waiting for them.They remind us to be so special,humble and kind,that people should miss our presence despite knowing that we reside in their hearts.
When we sleep the whole starry sky protects each one of us despite being partial to rich or poor.It silently whispers in our ear and leaves a message for us to be protective and caring to all those whom we love and even to strangers.Afterall each one of us is part of the same energy.
