One Wrong Move

Life is a  big mystery,
trying everyday to unlock the key.
People are striving for the living,
Drinking and eating,
Dreams not fulfilling.
Vission towards success,
Why everyone is depress?
Innovation putting stress,
Can anyone take some rest?
Solomon once had spoken,
"Life is like reaching on the wind."
Material greatness,
once you achieve
Doesn't assure ,
forever you live.
So what's the purpose,
a child is asking.
Temporal living,
a successful career.
Life is too short,
full of wanderings.
One wrong move,
and its dead end.

Hello Aiyah, again :)... Congratulations.. thank you so much.. ... By the way I have something to say to all who supported my ANY POEM # 19 contest. Shame on me, Shame on me! Please forgive me, for not taking the time, to CONGRATULATE and adore all the winning poems for a second or third time. I AM VERY LATE:(-- I was a little mad at the world. However, this is my winning list, I will give everyone the same love and support. I'm dropping by with a Copy Paste note from the bottom of my heart. I am sorry, it's not like me, to walk away, as if nothing. Truly, I appreciate every winning poem, and HM. LOVE LINDA

Very true in its lines. We define how we live, how we walk, how we behave in the directions we take. Very well expressed.

Very inspirational writing. Yes we would like to be happy but as followers there will be griefs and suffering in our life's journey. All we can do is daily pray and ask him to guide our way.
