Melodies of Life

MELODIES OF LIFE If we were wise when we were young Some songs would have been left unsung Had we anticipated well before hand that the road we travelled through was wrong We'd never stop and glance back To relive rare moments that came along If we had refused to eat the stale cake That caused us to suffer stomachache We'd never recall the secret thrill we felt, succumbing to our sweet will Had we not made some grave mistakes Naively putting our future at stake And did all that was too perfect and right Would grow complacent, never scale lofty heights How would we recount those , foolish tales Though silly, nevertheless taught us to sail? Warbling tunes of gaiety and sorrow Insouciant about the coming morrow.
