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.
