Dreams of Life

Dr. Omatee Ann Marie Hansraj 

Life is not a dream,  

Yet we need to dream,  

To bridge the mundane,  

With what could gleam.

In the daily grind,  

We must find time,  

To let our minds  

To far-off realms climb.

For in dreams we see,  

What we could achieve,  

They kindle our hearts,  

And help us believe.

So dream with your eyes,  

Wide open, awake,  

For it's in those visions,  

Our true paths we make.

The Tides of Life

Dr. Omatee Ann Marie Hansraj 

Life is filled with uncertainties,  

Opportunities come and go,  

People come into our life,  

As others leave, in time.

Some serve their purpose,  

And then they go,  

Some leave temporary,  

Some leave forever, this we know.

That's life, it is what it is, 

It's just the way it is,  

Sometimes we have a choice,  

Other times, we just have to accept.

The Essence of Happiness

Dr. Omatee Ann Marie Hansraj 

Happiness is not about getting all you want,  

It’s about enjoying all you have, right from the start.  

Cherish each blessing, both big and small,  

For in gratitude lies the secret to it all.

Enjoy each amazing moment coming your way,  

Embrace the wonder, let your spirit sway.  

In the dance of life, be present and free,  

For happiness blooms in simplicity.

Take time to savor the morning sun,  

Relish the moments, every single one.  

Breathe in deeply, let worries dissolve,  

In the present moment, let your heart evolve.

Laughter and love are treasures to hold,  

More valuable than silver or gold.  

Share a smile, a kind word, a gentle touch,  

These simple acts mean so much.

When clouds gather and days grow dim,  

Find the light that shines within.  

For even in darkness, joy can be found,  

With a grateful heart, turn it around.

Life's journey is a winding road,  

With peaks of joy and burdens to unload.  

Walk with hope, let your spirit soar,  

In every step, discover more.

The Endurance of Time

Dr. Omatee Ann Marie Hansraj 

The days may be cold,  

The days may be long,  

Yet within each moment,  

We find a silent song.  

Through winter's chill,  

And summer's endless heat,  

We march on steadily,  

With every rhythmic beat.  

In every darkened hour,  

And every radiant dawn,  

We hold onto our hopes,  

And courageously move on.  

For time is but a river,  

Flowing endlessly and free,  

And we, the steadfast sailors,  

Navigate its vast, deep sea.  

No matter how cold,  

No matter how long,  

We'll find our strength within,  

And carry on strong.

In the Depths of Love

Dr. Omatee Ann Marie Hansraj 

In this vast world, you seek a heart,

A soul to hold when days depart.

Not someone perfect, flawless, grand,

But one who’ll take you as you stand.

Through flaws and scars, they’ll truly see,

Your insecurities, set free.

They’ll wake each day with love renewed,

With steadfast hearts, they’ll stay with you.

For love’s not just a fleeting feel,

But a promise deep, a bond so real.

To cherish each heartbeat’s silent hum,

Together as the days become.

When storms arise, and tempers flare,

When stress and sorrow fill the air,

They’ll still be there, with love so true,

In anger, fear, they’ll comfort you.

If you’re so blessed to find this love,

Appreciate its grace, thereof.

Love them deeper than ocean’s breath,

Cherish each moment until death.
