Life

a poem by Soumava Bhattacharyya

Life is just like a coin,
a unique combination of joy and sorrow.
When grief strikes, do not lose heart,
remember, that there is always a better tomorrow.

Peace, prosperity and happiness,
is what everyone wants from life, however it may be.
Some earn it by sheer patience and dedication,
and some just rob it away by dishonesty.

Everyone comes here empty-handed,
and leaves the world the same way.
He enjoys every moment of life,
but forgets to thank his creator, he does not have the time to pray.

As it has been the rule of life,
sorrow and joy can never be far apart.
When grief seems to engulf you,
remember, joy will come and hug you very fast.

Life is so mysterious, with so many puzzles,
and with so many secrets and nightmares.
Everyday the rising sun unveils some of its mysteries,
what’s going to happen the next moment, who knows, who cares!
