Weal and Woes of life

Weal and Woes of life

P K Routray

Everything good we cherish

Hate, we to a failure and anguish

Happiness, love, confidence and success,

living with health and harmony as good we asses

Everything good and joyous always we look for.

Difficult time and things bad and painful we abhor.

But every good thing has pitfalls woven around it

to those pitfalls man is lured to succumb and submit.

Complacency is an offspring of happiness

it begets laziness and makes one careless

Love creates a pampered child

likely to be way ward and wild

Confidence begets arrogance.

Success boosts man’s vanity at any instance.

In every difficulty the Lord we pray with intense devotion

and put up our best effort to come out of the situation.

Bad time with consequential experience incites our urge

to promise and practice the values in life which thus surge.

Hence good time and bad time both are meant for us

To put us in both Lord has a purpose, He is not callous.
