                                  What is this Life if Full of Stress


                                    What is this life if, full of stress,
                                    We can no time find just to rest;

                                   No time at dawn to greet the sun
                                         At the far distant horizon;

                                      No time to inhale the fresh air
                                   And at nature`s beauty to stare;

                                      No time our flowers to admire
                                  And their sweet perfume to desire;

                                     No time to stroll along the beach
                                     And the heart of a bay to reach;

                                     No time to stalk the setting sun
                                 And by the full moon to be stunned;

                                   No time to gaze at stars at night
                                 While they shed their silvery light;

                                   No time to connect with oneself
                                   And scan depth of the inner self;

                                    No time to ponder on our soul
                                   That drives us to our final goal, 

                                  And no time we can quite afford
                                     To offer prayers to the Lord.
