A Short Glimpse Into Life

No value is of Good,
If Evil is not beside;
It must be understood,
Both go side by side.

Worthless is the warmly home,
Unless you face outward chill;
Wherever you may roam,
Home remains your place still.

Day is to work, night, to rest,
"Rest is rust", they foolishly say;
Rest, to plan work, is the best,
Night is followed by another day.

No darkness is too thick
To be penetrated by light.
Why are you so sick?
Look, the place is bright.

Both joy and sorrow
Are your best friends;
One visits today, second tomorrow,
Their cycle goes on till life ends.

A very short span of time
We have to fill with love;
Hatred is no less than a crime,
Of all emotions, love stands above.

Peace can't be brought by war
That brings death and destruction;
Peace provides chances to prosper
Life with high goals moving to action.

Just illusions are life and death,
So are celebrations and mourning.
Who knows what be his last breath
And awake or not the next morning?

No such place is anywhere as hell
Or Heaven, only state of mind;
It's upon you to fill 
Life with what you find.

It depends on the people to take
Your actions as foolish or wise;
The effect on others you make
Leads you to fall or rise.

Why failure lets you down,
A part of success it is;
Not so away is your crown
That one more effort wants.
