Notes About The Poem

" LIFE " MY PHOTO, ©

Have You Ever

Have you ever exclaimed,  my friend:

" How beautiful life is? "

When...

You gave your first kiss to your beloved?

You married your sweetheart?

You took in your arms your firstborn?

You had your great success in life?

Or

You admired the beauty of nature?

You scent the aroma of a flower?

You enjoyed one of Beethoven's  symphonies?

You cried while listening to an opera?

You saw your most cherished dream come true?


If

You ever have uttered these four words, my 

Fellow mortal,

No matter what was the reason that made you do so,

Then

Without fail you have justified:

All impediments,

All grief

All suffering, 

All agony, and
 
All pain

That

Life has put in your way since the day 

You were born!

Rama Balasubramanian June 27, 2021 at 6:06 AM Everytime we say how beautiful life is we are positive and appreciative of blessings of God. We should say this even in miseries they are like medicines to end our sin. But we rarely use these words and whenever we do we remember those times vividly. Wish we could be ever positive, our life would become so happy. Another splendid write and beautiful pic. Have a great day ahead.
