The Other Way Around

As life is like a wheel, best of time could turn up Bad time moves to alternate what’s on top Be steep in spirit at the height of your loss And be humble when winning comes to a close As trunk of a tree is cut and becomes support As diamond is cut in its desired form While silkworm works hard to spin a silken cocoon For human sufferings in life, they become of worth No one will make a bow without an arrow Likely God won’t test you if you are weak If you fail today, don’t fill your heart with sorrow Instead, pose a chic smile with a winning streak There’s no turning back to correct the past Rather move forward to create a better future If you join a race and landed last The last to come is a determined winner If you can cry for a loss Why can’t you smile for a cause? As time goes by, old ones become more valuable A newly born becomes adorable Avoiding the challenge can change nothing But facing the challenge can change everything If we come across the wrong road There is always the other way around By: Noel N.
