Would Life Be Same

Why life begins with a deep cry,
And not quietly on the very sly,
What is nature’s game?

If beginning is wrought with pain,
Even before life’s ensuing strain,
Who should take blame?

If we were all born in good cheer,
And life progressed without fear,
Wouldn’t it still be same?

Maybe it is like the struggle of the butterfly leaving the cocoon. If it is easy the butterfly will be unable to fly.

Thought provoking words. If everything was simple, we wouldn't have learned our lessons. Best wishes for the contest :)
