Tried to call at home, As saw a horrible ghost, But no was out of coverage, Who at once approached. I aghast ran upward, While praying to lord, But at once all disappeared, Situation became more weird. I screamed & screamed, Mum ram to me, cleaned, Did you see a dream? HE is everywhere to redeem. I started to weep, And mum pinch to feet, Realize truth & gave a smile, Rethink that dream for a while.                                               By- Nidhi .

Feel He is there to help you, In your most needy time, Just high climb for dime, And concentrate on view. Be motivate for that, And keep doing more, That help in glittering, As life is a combat, Through struggle achieve score, Which protects form withering.                                                     By- NIDHI
