Every day you throw a boomerang With all your strength as far as you can. It cuts the still air and flew it must, A boomerang has a mind and chooses a path.
It is funny, in life you will not know When noble deeds and kind actions Will one day return to you, but alas! Unexpectedly, it appears out of the blue.
You did not turn your gaze away When you saw a beggar plea, "Can you spare a dollar for a cup of tea?" You were not cynical and did not doubt what he said.
You crossed the street towards the direction of A drunken man with an unsteady gait. Not afraid he might ask you to hold him up As you could smell a brew in his breathe.
It was a freezing Sunday morning Waiting for your bus there was a man shivering You called 911, and the medics came He smiled at you and he knew he will be fine.
A child you knew asked you a favor. She wants to become a nurse or a doctor You responded to help at whatever cost The child's desire and future not lost.
Your parents are in their golden age But has no means to survive and live In a comfortable home they call their own You provided them, expecting nothing in return.
You will never know when the boomerang return The effect of which is not immediately known Rest assured that when you do good deeds God above will take note of all these.
When you can inhale the fresh morning air. When your knees do not ache and you are feeling fair When you bend and there is no shooting pain You are feeling the boomerang's return.
When you felt you were lost and weary And someone guided and brought you home Your heart is full of glee and you are humming a song You are now harvesting and reaping what you have sown.
What will the boomerang bring back to you And when, you will knot know The good deeds you now have forgotten Is coming back like a boomerang!
It is plain and simple you will comprehend The love you gave you will receive love in return. Extend your hand to help and you will be helped Someone will assist and you felt the boomerang has returned.
Hi Nenita, beautiful poem and so true, what goes around comes around, do good things for no gain and you will be rewarded in unexpected ways. Its so easy to forget, so thank you for the wonderfully written reminder.
Thank you so much for your generous comment and kind words. I am reminded by just being aware of my surrounding. I appreciate your stopping by, reading and commenting. Welcome to Searchwarp!
Lovely poem, Nenita. You have such a creative way with words. I love the 'boomerang' analogy. Thanks so much for sharing this with us. And have a wonderful 'boomerang' filled week.
Thank you so much Jenelle. I am honored and humbled given such encouragement. Thank you for your time, for reading and commenting, it makes me realize it is a rewarding endeavor.
the almost lack of forced rhyme lends this moral piece a deeper range and deeper meaning than it would have had, had you labored to rhyme;its often not until we return to heaven and view our lives that,in retrospect, we regret the kind word we missed to give or the act of warmth we avoided,skillfully,but you do remind us,here; nice job;paul
Thank you so much for your kind words. I am very delighted knowing that you loved my poem -- it meant so much to me. Thank you for stopping by, reading and commenting.
May your day be filled with sunshine and laughter.
Great work! I am a poet, a good one so I am told. Point is, whenever someone asks me to read their poem(s) I cringe. It is not often that I am delighted. Loved both the topic and the performance. Very, very pleasing to read. Truly inspirational, remarkable content. On to the next one;0)
That's such a beautiful poem Nenita. Quite inspiring and warming. I have always believed in the notion of karma and your boomerang analogy helps explain it wonderfully.
