Immortal

A stranger asked God to bless him.

God asked him what life do you want!! 

The stranger replied 

I wish to be 'Immortal'

I want wealth, nothing else,

Lord said I shall grant only one, not both.

Well said the stranger,

Grant me Wealth, 

I shall buy Fame and good health. 

God blessed.

The stranger became a gambler,

but soon lost all, Health, and wealth,

Realizing his mistake, he prayed again.

Lord make me Immortal. 

Lord said,

No one is immortal, all are mortals.

Only your actions and your deeds 

shall make you immortal. 

So toil hard, lead a virtuous life,

learn to be compassionate,

to be Immortal,

lead a meaningful life. 

Both 'Time' and 'Life' are precious,

And Wine and Wealth make one vicious. 

So chose wisely

Great Men are immortal 

for their work, their doing.

They have given their all,
