Guiding Light: Messages to the Unborn

    Guiding Light: Messages to the Unborn In the womb, my dear, you're safe and sound, But soon, you'll join a world that's spinning round, I know it seems daunting, this world so vast, But within your heart, a strength will amass, You'll breathe the air, feel the sun's warm embrace, Though there's fakeness, there's also grace, You'll learn to discern what's true and right, As you grow, my child, into the light, The world can be harsh, but it is also kind, With love and courage, you will surely find, Your path through the darkness, towards the day, Where authenticity and truth hold sway, In your journey, remember, you're not alone, For you carry within you a heart that's your own, And I'll be here, with love; to guide your way, As you navigate this world, day by day, So, my dear child, as your birth draws near, Know that in this world, you're meant to be here, With every challenge, you will surely cope, For you bring to th...

Direct-Indirect speach

-
Image
• Explanation of direct and indirect         speech with details Q. What is direct speech?  Direct speech is when you directly quote someone's words within a sentence, typically using quotation marks to indicate the spoken words.  For Example:  Sarah said, "I'm going to the store." Here, "I'm going to the store" is the direct speech, and it's enclosed within quotation marks to show that it's exactly what Sarah said. Direct speech adds authenticity and immediacy to writing, allowing readers to hear the exact words spoken by the character. It's commonly used in storytelling, dialogue, interviews, and reporting to convey the speaker's message accurately. Q. What is Indirect speech? Indirect speech, also known as reported speech, is when you convey someone else's words without quoting them directly. Instead of using quotation marks, you paraphrase what was said, often changing the tense and pronouns to fit the context.  For ex...

I find no peace

    I Find No Peace - Sir Thomas Wyatt                              •~ Sir Thomas Wyatt ~• I find no peace and all my war is done, I fear and hope. I burn and freeze like ice. I fly above the wind, yet can I not arise  And another I have, and all the world I seize on That loseth not locketh holdeth me in prison, And holdeth me not- yet can I scape no wise - Not letteth me live not die at my device And yet of death it giveth me occasion. Without even I see, and without tongue I plain I desire to perish, and yet I ask health. I love another, and yet thus I hate myself,  I feed me in sorrow and laugh in all my pain. Likewise displeaseth me both life and death, And my delight is caused by this strife. I am writing this poem to antonym analyze that to draw Sir Thomas Wyatt has no peace in his life because his beloved left him but I making to convince him that they have made peace in his life by mak...

Since there's no help, come let us kiss and part

Since there's no help,                               come let us kiss and part                                             –By Michael Drayton Since there's no help, come let us kiss and part. Nay, I have done, you get no more of me; And I am glad, yea glad with all my heart, Thay thus so cleanly I myself can free. Shake hands for ever, cancel all our vows, And when we meet at any time again, Be it not seen in either of our brows That we one not of former love retain. Now at the last gasp of Love's latest breath, When, his pulse failing, Passion speechless lies When Faith is kneeling by his bed of death, And innocence is closing up his eyes— Now, if thou wouldst, when all have given him over, From death to life thou night's him yet recover! Michael Drayton–1563-1631      Mi...

Life of Death

-

     "Beginning of the Life                        is also beginning for                                                  the Death."                       Life is a journey for the Death. How you live your life is in our hands. If we live happily,we will accept death happily. But if life is to be lived sadly,even death will seem like bitter poison.                    "Life is gift from God"    Death does not come deliberately, it comes suddenly and also did not wait for anyone. Death does not come to the poor than to the rich, it is the same for all.          The cycle of life is tied to your Karma. Lord Shree Krishna has also sa...
