Every Rose has its thorn

We both lie silently still

In the dead of the night

Although we both lie close together

We feel miles apart inside

Was it somethin' I said or somethin' I did?

Did my words not come out right?

Though I tried not to hurt you

Though I tried but I guess that's why, they say

Every rose has its thorn

Just like every night has its dawn

Just like every cowboy sings his sad, sad song

Every rose has its, yeah, it does

I listen to my favorite song

Playin' on the radio

Hear the D.J. say

"Love's a game of easy come and easy go"

But I wonder, does he know

Has he ever felt like this?

And I know that you'd be here right now

If I could've let you know somehow

I guess, every rose has its thorn

Just like every night has its dawn

Just like every cowboy sings his sad, sad song

Every rose has its thorns

Though it's been a while now

I can still feel so much pain

Like the knife that cuts you, the wound heals

But the scar, that scar remains

I know I could have saved our love that night

If I'd known what to say

Instead of makin' love we both

Made our separate ways

But now, I hear you've found somebody new

And that I never meant that much to you

To hear that tears me up inside

And to see you cuts me like a knife

I guess, every rose has its thorn

Just like every night has its dawn

Just like every cowboy sings his sad, sad song

Khalil Gibran...

Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself

But if your love and must needs have desires,

Let these be your desires:

To melt and be like a running brook

That sings its melody to the night.

To know the pain of too much tenderness.

To be wounded by your own understanding of love;

And to bleed willingly and joyfully.

To wake at dawn with a winged heart

And give thanks for another day of loving;

To rest at the noon hour and meditate love's ecstasy;

To return home at eventide with gratitude;

And then to sleep with a prayer

For the beloved in your heart

And a song of praise upon your lips.

KHALIL GIBRAN

Catching Up - I think!

Wow! My last post was in Dec 2009...I think I have broken all my records!

WAVE update is that the site is launched and my first video is up - its on ME!!!! Here’s the link to it http://www.waveindia.org/bio.php?bid=2

The second video should be out soon - its on HOLI. The third is on the editing table - This one is on Jo. And the fourth is being shot/made - my first attempt at animation (Priyam is of course the support system!!) There is a fifth one but I'm still working on the script of that one

Another update we are fundraising BIG TIME for the LATIKA VIHAR SUMMER CAMP 2010 so support, donate and spread the word. I don’t think I need to explain what Latika Vihar is out here. My previous blogs have enough ammo on that!

The summers are our best months as we have children coming in from all over the country. Dehradun be blessed for being a 'grandma town'; every summer children come to visit their grandparents and need a place to have fun and unleash their creativity; that’s where Latika Vihar comes in....

Anyways, so during the summer months we have a mela and a picnic now these things are great fun but they need money and that’s where Priyam and I come in. This year our theme is 'CIRCUS'! the kids are learning how to Hoola Hoop, walk on stilts, juggle, make clown costumes etc. The usual activities like art & craft, theater continue but since it’s a theme they are all working towards something related to a circus.

Priyam the queen of fundraising has made 8 teams, each with a volunteer and a Latika kid and we are approaching the houses in Vasant Vihar for fundraising. Everyone can donate :) it’s worth it. You can come and visit anytime and you can always volunteer!

Tons to do so this is what comes to my mind, Im sure you have heard this before....

The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
