Rotary competition poem

 

HEAT OF THE COMPETITION 

Amidst the fiery flames of the stove 

The rythmatic chopping of fresh ginger 

I walked around in anxiousness 

Is this enough for me to win? 

Looking around I realize                 

Talent is all around me  

Within me hope slowly dies 

But I present the food 

To the best of my ability 

I pass one plate to the judges  

And one outside in the hall 

A minute later 

People were around my table 

Like bees swarming around honey 

I heard a woman say-“she deserved to win…” 

In utter confusion and extreme joy 

I hugged my mom and Miss Roberts  

Yes, I have participated in the district rotary competition  

And victory was mine

I was extremely angry with him because he asked me for my share of the land as a loan that he would repay later. I refused knowing that he was extremely ill and if he died the loan would get passed on to you. I knew at a point of time you would have faced this and this letter would have to be written by me. But I never expected it to be so early. I have always wished the best for you and I will always do so. Since you lost your mother as soon as you were born I was the one who took care of you till the age of five. I have always been behind the scenes like sending money for your education, making sure you get   into the best academies and even send you food and presents for Christmas. I always thought of you as my own and...

*Act Of Kindness And Goodwill Story*

Good Morning  +++++++++++++++++++++   *Act Of Kindness And Goodwill Story* Mr. Phillips was just getting ready to leave his office and he remembered that his wife had asked him to bring 1KG of Bananas. When He stepped out, he saw an ill-looking old lady across the road. She was selling fresh bananas on the street. Mr. Phillips usually buys bananas from a grocery shop few blocks away from his office but since he was in hurry to reach home today, he thought about buying them from across the road only. He went to the old lady and asked her the price. She quoted $7 per 1KG. He told, “But the store where I usually buy from gives them for $5 per 1KG, can you not give me for the same price?” The Old Lady told, “No Sir, I can not afford to match that price. I can sell them to you at $6 per 1KG. That’s best I can afford to give you for.” Mr. Phillips told her, “nevermind”. He left in his car towards the usual grocery shop. He went inside and picked up a good bunch of bananas. He went t...
