Life Poetry Contest; Sponsor: Robert James Liguri

An odyssey through hurdles, yet a blessing it is to dwell on earth, Aiming for destination beloved, chasing sweet dreams of mirth, Through successes and failures, amid joys and woes, since birth, Life can be hurricanes and storms, but living it justifies its worth. Sometimes life beams with hope, sometimes despairs in throes, Navigating peaks and troughs, undulating with highs and lows, Yet, unyielding to reign of angst, life rejects doldrums of sorrow, Aspiring boldly to sunny horizons, hosting endeavors of morrow. Life, a realm of virtues divine, resounding endearment of love, A benediction, an endowment, a gift from the heavens above; Its paradigms and precepts reverberate from temple of soul, Echoing sapience of enlightenment, teachings paramount toll. On strength of sheer endurance, aspirations of dreamers soar, Flexing willpower of ambitions, resolutely they bring to fore, As life rewards strenuous efforts, striving for its worthy goal, Fulfilling purpose of tomorrow, triumphs of achievers extol. Life toddles, stumbles and falls, enduring as it learns to walk, It stutters, it babbles thoughts, yet persists as it learns to talk, Cognizant over time, sorting good from bad, right from wrong, Obeying tenets of morals and values, guiding humanity lifelong.

Vijay, what an all encompassing view of life and our eternal destination. This is such a real picture of all facets of life! I especially love the imagery in the last verse that pictures life toddling, stumbling, babbling as "it learns to walk!" Truly we all continue to grow in so many ways! Best wishes and blessings for the contest!

What a brilliant and profound write this is dear Vijay! I cant believe im seeing this so late! But the way you’ve written about woes and throes and all that which flows through life is so very thought provoking and meaningful! I love the way you always pair words and how you phrase things and rhyme too! I love especially “ temple of soul” “ living it justifies its worth” such wisdom! And for some reason this comes also as a reminder for all readers, to embrace highs and lows and keep going as li

"Sometimes life beams with hope, sometimes despairs in throes, Navigating peaks and troughs, undulating with highs and lows," Ain't that the truth, for all of us! "Life toddles, stumbles and falls, enduring as it learns to walk, It stutters, it babbles thoughts, yet persists as it learns to talk," -- "Babes In Toy-land," after all is said and done. Great write!
