Beyond Limits

I was upset with the things around,
With all the ups and downs.
Is this what we call life or there is something else on which we can survive.
As I grow I realize.
Life will not always be a paradise.
Then one day I saw a caterpillar,
It was drowning in its own shell,
It might be thinking its life is hell.
And when it thought life is about to end,
It got wings, and it became a butterfly,
 I looked up at the sky, and I realized,
That I too have wings yet to be unearth,
And a soul to take a rebirth.
That little caterpillar opened my eyes,
Now I can see myself beyond the sky.
Every new day is a chance to change your life,
That’s how we all can happily survive.
Today I am beyond the limit of all limits,
Though I cannot stop the wave but I learned to surf.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
