Life and Its Purpose
Life on Earth is a God given boon
It should be skillfully set to tune
Both beauty and charm it should enclose
Should smell fragrant like a red, red rose
If life be made a saga of commitment and love
That by sacrifice, now and then made anew
In colors cascading like the welkin’s bow
It will bloom radiant in unusual glow
Know, life is a dispenser of joy and grief
Both, we have to accept as they shift brief
In gloom, hope there is a better day in wait
Too much of anything can our soul sedate
To idle away, we have hardly any time
Do what one can in life’s best prime
Keep away from the grip of spite and hate
And live life for love and love’s delight
Placed 8th in the contest
