LIFE

  " One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life. The word is love."
                     Sophocles , Greek Poet.

       Life to build, life to lead, please be sincere.
       Life to love, life to enjoy, life to care.
       Life to nurture, life to work, life to share.
       Life to relish, to nourish and to bear.

     Life  to enjoy and also to honour.
     Life is ground :  Be a spirited player.
     Life is precious, be alert and aware.
     Life to be righteous ! That's earnest prayer.
     Life meets joy and grief : Be bold every where.
     Life is always challenge to burst in flare.
     Life to be glorified in glaze and glare.
     Life to serve, lending hand to sufferer.

      Life is truthful : ‘Lies- malice’, don't ignore.
      With love and compassion life to explore.

Dear Anisha, It is quite a captivating exploration of life's myriad facets. I felt through each line, you eloquently express the essence of existence: its joys, challenges, and the enduring power of love. Your words are filled with sincerity and wisdom to embrace life's complexities with courage and compassion. What a beautiful reflection on the journey of living. - Blessings, Daniel
