LIFE

As I sat down, I close my eyes and try to feel the world

I remember how I cried when been conceived into this world

I wept with joy that I was free for what I had no idea about

I had all one could ever thing of… love, care and support

But all this seems like a mere imagination

Nothing seems to be working out as earlier anticipated

I content myself when I look at life around me

I see people that are wealthy some with problems within

Some having men of the underworld as guest

Taking all their life expense within a twinkling of an eye

I see an average man having only what keeps him and his family alive

They are content with what they have even if it’s not enough

Praying that someday the sun will shine again

I see a poor man with no hope of having anything except the cloth he is putting on

If he can have a sound square meal for the day, life business goes on

He eats whatever he sees and believes as long as there is life

That there will always be hope for a better tomorrow

An insane man had the world to himself

He’s not bothered about what happens around him

He accepts whatever he feels or sees and he is the happiest of all man

I thought of man’s real purpose in life

Because no matter how hard we work or how rich or poor we are

We are going to pass by this world but once

And leave all what we have struggled for eternity

But what then is life really about I keep wondering?

Now I see its earthly meaning doesn’t count

Since we all are strangers in a strange world

But we have been assured of eternal rest after death

With Christ Jesus who is above in the heavens

Where there is no pain, struggling, hardship, hatred and death

Where only our decisions and motives can put things right

But it will only be in our heart and soul that life will still go on

That is putting our treasures where it is really worth

With God our author who is the beginner and the finisher of our fate
