The Other Way Around
As life is like a wheel, best of time could turn up
Bad time moves to alternate what’s on top
Be steep in spirit at the height of your loss
And be humble when winning comes to a close
As trunk of a tree is cut and becomes support
As diamond is cut in its desired form
While silkworm works hard to spin a silken cocoon
For human sufferings in life, they become of worth
No one will make a bow without an arrow
Likely God won’t test you if you are weak
If you fail today, don’t fill your heart with sorrow
Instead, pose a chic smile with a winning streak
There’s no turning back to correct the past
Rather move forward to create a better future
If you join a race and landed last
The last to come is a determined winner
If you can cry for a loss
Why can’t you smile for a cause?
As time goes by, old ones become more valuable
A newly born becomes adorable
Avoiding the challenge can change nothing
But facing the challenge can change everything
If we come across the wrong road
There is always the other way around
