Life

On the day I blinked my eyes And saw a world;blank and empty From the first time my mouth Opened to cry. And I murmured thoughts I never knew: Words of faith Indeed,words of faith. Life has taught me to smile When grief grips my heart And never to let sadness rule my Mind. So I smile even when its hard to Do so. Life has taught me to love when hatred grows like grasses And never to payback tit for tat. So I love all even when that is Difficult. Life has taught me to learn Even when laziness spreads like Bacteria And never to grow up half by half. So I learn even when that Becomes frustrating. Life has taught me to be silent In the midst of words For only then will my thought Grow wings So I watch while men talk their Minds away. Life has taught me to be that Gentle hero Whose strenght lies within him For that is what greatness really Means So I feel strong when weakness Try my faith. Life has taught me to be bold When failure snares at me And never to fall for it So I walk even in the midst of a Raging storm. Life has taught me to dream Even when hope fades like Shadows And never be scared to pursue my Dreams So I wear my dream as tag and Pursue it to its end. Life has taught me to see light in a Dark night Life in shadows of death: To dream and make my dreams Come true To hold my head high in difficulty And see the silver linen in a very Bleak cloud. Life has showed me success in Every hardwork Excellence in all determination And greatness in ambition. Life has taught me to see gain in Every pain Joy in toil And an enduring legacy in lessons It has shown me hope in dispair Enternity in goodness And a lively happiness in Commitment. Above all, Life has shown me the road to Greatness The truth that life itself without Excellence is the worst one can Ever live.
