What man OWEs and OWNs?


Sometimes I wonder what a man owEs.



Sometimes I wonder what a man owNs.


Is it the money? You can never own money. It’s a form of energy that flows from one person to another. May be you have a lot of this energy at this moment, but one day it will flow out to someone else and then to someone else.


Is it the strength? You can never own strength. You never had it to start with. Soon it will deteriorate and you will grow old and grey.


Is it the pride? It is false my friend. Your pride will be soon broken. You cant take that to the coffin.


Sometimes I wonder what a man owEs.


Sometimes I wonder what a man owNs.


He owes his life to the women who brought him to this world sustaining great physical pain, made him strong , taught him the importance of sacrifice and made him a human, his mother.









He owes his fortune and dignity to the women who taught him how to work hard and make a living, so today his head is high with pride, his teacher.









He owes his smile to the women who cried when he got hurt playing with her, his sister.








He owes his heart and soul to the women who loves him the most, for what he is and for not he could be, his girl, his soul mate.









He owes his strength to the family that he cherishes the most in this world, his kids, friends and relatives.







Sometimes I wonder what a man owEs.


Sometimes I wonder what a man owNs.



He owes more than he owns. But what he owns is priceless.


All that he owns is Love of the people who made him a man. All that he takes away with him is the memories of knowing these angels on this earth who made him complete.


All that he owns is the widely varied love of the women in his life.
