THE HEART HAS ITS REASONS

There is often a reason to smile even in our worst moments ever,

 There is also a reason to feel sad in our happiest moments ever.

Strange are the ways of the heart, it keeps us guessing forever,

Behaving in a manner, we sometimes know the reason, never ever.

At times genuinely happy for others and sporting an obvious  glow,

And at times envious of a friend or a sibling, trying hard not to show.

At times, for no particular reason, getting upset and raking up a row,

And at times accepting pain and hurt, without a frown on the brow.

The heart has its reasons, as they say, but so often the mind is clueless,

We wish to react in a certain way and we end up doing something else.

We start convincing ourselves and others about our intentions in vain,

And love to justify our behaviour and find reasons to explicitly explain.

Honestly, very often, we really have no reason to behave the way we do,

And we end up being unreasonable and hurting others, in the bargain too.

What we need in such times, is to introspect and reflect deeply within,

And let go off the negative thoughts and let all the positive thoughts in.

No matter what be the reason behind each of our thoughts, words or actions,

We can certainly practice to acquire the required skill to control our reactions.

And that would put an end to our struggle to find out the variety of reasons,

And our heart and mind would work in perfect unison despite all the reasons.
