Life and People

We live our lives in search of happiness but many times we do tend to stray, 
nothing in life is everlasting happy moods do fail to stay.

Burdens of life people shall carry in dark moments or brighter day, 
accept what life has to offer, 
in black or white or even grey.

Sometimes with good intentions your closest friends become your prey, 
and sometimes floating rumours will make your heart in doubt sway.

People from whom you have kept distant,
in time of need your debit may pay,
and others for whom you have feelings with wicked acts could certainly pay.

Pass on the favour to those in need,
in pure gold good deeds shall weigh. 
Honour your word and seek wisdom, 
with ethics and morals you’ll find your way.

Thank you Smita. I am happy to find people such as yourself who true appreciate the meaning of words. Unfortunately, we live in a world where most people are unable and unwilling to comprehend the true value of words. Some verses are plain and simple but carry deep meanings. Thank you once again.
