I Learnt To Live

So what do you think is life ?

Does  it  mean  just to survive?

 

If u never thOught over it,

I would like to tell u a bit.

 

Its not merely existing my dear,

Your  own  voice u need to hear.

 

Some good advice I’d like to give,

This is how I learnt to live.

 

I took life too seriously,

and God gave me misery.

 

I held it too tight,

and I couldn’t see the ray of light,

 

That God beams on all his children,

to help them out of life’s burden.

 

Then I left it too free and didn’t have any dreams,

God stopped helping me, as it seems.

 

Nothing affected me, I was indifferent,

At that  moment , a message was sent..

 

God said to me, here come to me,

You have nothing to do on earth as I see.

 

I was afraid, I was tense,

I wondered, “ Does my life make any sense”  ?

 

 

 

 

On every little thing, I was crying,

On all petty things, I felt like dying.

 

There was no inspiration,

just congestion.

 

Where am I going, I thought,

Thru all these years, what have I got ??

 

What is it that I finally want to achieve?

What is the dream that I just cannot leave?

 

I must have a dream for which I shall fight,

At that instant, I saw some  light.

 

The light shone on me,

It still helps me to see.

 

Whenever I’m lost,

in the life’s frost.

 

I know my destination,

my heart is filled with elation.

 

Now , I am ready, walking steady,

towards my dream, towards my goal.

 

I feel so complete, I feel so whole,

I had the courage to look into my soul.

 

And if you don’t have a dream, you are trapped in life’s mist,

You are not living ,  you just exist.
