THE JOURNEY ... LIFE !!!



A pair of twinkling little eyes

Stare at you confused,

And then the sound of crying is heard

Leaving its spectator amused.

Not a drop of tear is shed,

Then suddenly silence prevails;

Now the tiny little eyes

Flaunt at you their amused gaze.

In the moment that passed in the seemingly innocent exchange,

The child is now convinced

That deceit thy name is the game,

In this world that beckons it

With arms invitingly held out;

The new born readies itself

To learn what life's all about.

The path thats destined for the little one

Is soft as velvet and hard as stone;

For thats the way to live life dearest-

Seldom in a crowd and oft alone!

Through the journey faces change,

They have always in the past;

Leaving behind "moments" that we remember

Till we finally breathe our last.

Those moments when the whole wide world

Was too good to be true;

And when it was synonymous with hell,

Keep coming back to you.

The newly born's little soul

Has a long way to go,

Before it is bruised and bleeds sore

By the indifference that people show.

Anyone who ever lived

Has struggled to be free,

If not from oppressive rulers,surely his fellowmen-

Whilst expressing his individuality.

This child, as man, will crib over

The opportunities that he might miss;

But ne'er shall he forget the bliss

Of his first passionate kiss.

Also, appreciation and honour are

The desserts that he'll relish.

Abundant they may be though,

First find them he must, and then cherish.

A staff that will be his companion for life

Is the one called "true love",

It'll come to him when the time is right

For its purer than the white plumes of the dove.

But now, "What is life?"

Is the searching eyes' only query,

To which the simple reply is,

"My dear, you'll soon see."
