Song of Life

Song of life

The meaning of life never you get how much you search,
life's arithmetic is never complete work out how much.
Win and lose, burn and get burnt everyday's play such as,
in tears and blood, honey and delicacies time does always pass.
The path of life never ends how much you walk
the meaning of life never you get how much you talk.
In the blooming garden of happiness, sorrow, hope and despair,
amidst thorn and flower light and shade enjoy living ever.
Why not then the song of life is sweet you tell,
the meaning of life how much you seek can't a little avail.

Love and hate, pain and pleasure,
Hug and fight, tear and laughter,
peace and war, health and ill health,
noise and silence, poverty and wealth,
sanitation and pollution, creation and destruction,
these dualities are the songs of our life
either tinged in misery and strife
or flared with pomp and joy
over the span of years since we held our toy.
Filial love and sibling love were true and divine
Friends’ love and colleagues love could not be so much fine
The girl friend’s love and the boy friend love had an additional dimension,
physical need is added to the emotional passion.
The conjugal love added further dimension,
to all above, to build a family of bondage came in the vision.
At the old age with falling health on both physical and mental front
old age home, mercy of others are needed till our mortal body is buried or burnt.
