ABUSE MASTER
Dear All,

It is so nice to think that we are given plenty

of choices to decide many things in our life.

With our so called evolved intelligence we

can do wonders with the choices that we
make provided it is made consciously.

What is conscious selection? It is very simple

to follow. Think of an action and its
consequence. If the consequence is going to

IT'S JUST ANOTHER DAY! TREES – MOTHER OF LIFE SOURCE

He's born in the womb of his mother, Stop it! Children,

As soft and frail as a feather, Don’t hurt me, more and more!
The relatives " congratulations " they say, I beg your pardon,
But…… IT'S JUST ANOTHER DAY! You are falling behind,

He grows up to finish his studies,

Behind, in the feelings of love and care
With his good old buddies,
Rise, rise up and up!
Together they say "hurray",
Still, you have enough time,
But…… IT'S JUST ANOTHER DAY!
Are you listening to my cries?

And he finds a job to earn that all ruling

money, Oh! Son of mine,
To get food, as honey, Help your brothers, rivers, forest & nature
His father says "Son you have made your way", Save your brothers and sisters,

But…… IT'S JUST ANOTHER DAY! Keep them away from your selfish mind
Then, he marries his beautiful bride,
A life partner at his side, Help trees to sway, rivers to flow and
People say "Lead life as you may", Birds to sing their sweet, lovely songs
But…… IT'S JUST ANOTHER DAY! Help them to live their life with freedom
Don’t cut the trees and plant more
Finally, he faces his tragic demise,
As a man who is old and wise,
Be good, listen to me children and
They cry "Ohh motionless he lay",
Make my dreams come true, I’ll create
But...... IT'S JUST ANOTHER DAY!
Your dreams into reality….
