Journey of life


Journey of life 


Life’s journey winds 
through valleys, 
hills and plains,
A path that twists 
and turns, 
unknown, unplanned,
With every step, 
a lesson to be learnt,
In joy and sorrow, 
triumph and defeat.

We start 
with innocence, 
a blank, white page,
Our hearts untouched 
by time’s relentless hand,
As years unfold, 
we grow, we laugh, we cry,
The road we walk 
is paved with dreams 
and fears.

Through storm and sun, 
through night and day 
we tread,
In search of meaning, 
purpose, and our place,
Encounters with the souls 
we meet and love,
Shape who we are 
and guide us on our way.

The journey’s end 
remains a mystery,
Yet every step we take, 
a testament,
to life’s embrace, 
its ever changing face,
In every breath, 
the essence 
of our quest.
