When life becomes a struggle
And illness brings the blues
Just close your eyes a moment
This is the thing to do

Imagine all the angels
Above look down at you
And in their hearts of pureness
They sing a prayer that’s true

A prayer of inspiration
Of words so sweetly said
The Father’s heart is taken
Sends comfort to your bed

And though your eyes unable
To see this glorious sight
The angels come to comfort
For this is God’s delight.

Under the son and upon the earth I have known a spinster.
Do you know, that little one is none other than my sister,
Everyone quotes and marvels at her,
Yea, she desires secretly appreciations for her

In deep recess of her heart, I have seen her obsession
That young girl cherishes me as her secret possession
She struggles, quarrels and fights in her mind
All those who surround me she undermines

She is hawky and crazy young damsel
I think she assumes her brother like a precious pearl
She pens down her sentiments for her brother
Even while sleeping she whispers “Brother…Brother”

She love to be lost in fantasy of her brother
She wants to enjoy life in ecstasy with her brother
Alas! If anyone has seen my sister…lost in the world
Beseech that convey my loneliness and love to her

Waiting for her standing &looking through a door
When will she be back…not too depart anymore
She is my young little sister, whom I admire,
She should rise in her life…that is what I desire….

A basketball in my hands is worth about $19.
A basketball in Michael Jordan’s hands
Is worth about $33 million.
It depends Whose hands it’s in.

A baseball in my hands is worth about $6.
A baseball in Mark Mcquire’s hands
Is worth $19 million.
It depends Whose hands it’s in.

A tennis racket is useless in my hands.
A tennis racket in Pete Sampras’ hands
Is a Wimbledon Championship.
It depends Whose hands it’s in.

A rod in my hands will keep away a wild animal.
A rod in Moses’ hands
Will part the mighty sea.
It depends Whose hands it’s in.

A sling shot in my hands is a kid’s toy.
A sling shot in David’s hand
Is a mighty weapon.
It depends Whose hands it’s in.

Two fish and 5 loaves of bread in my hands
Is a couple of fish sandwiches.
Two fish and 5 loaves of bread in God’s hands
Will feed thousands.
It depends Whose hands it’s in.

Nails in my hands might produce a birdhouse.
Nails in Jesus Christ’s hands
Will produce salvation for the entire world.
It depends Whose hands it’s in.

So put your concerns, your worries, your fears,
Your hopes, your dreams, your families
And all your relationships into God’s hands.
Because as you can see
It matters Whose hands their in.
