Analysis of journey of life
No faces ful lof smiles greet me
On this path of live and learn
Empty frowns and chissiled glares
Portraits and masks of reluctent stare
The pavement beats my every sodden step
Alarm sounds strike my fragile ear
The persistant rain that beats me down
And the clothes heavy as soaking sponge
The furious wind that tears and batters me
As the path now takes sudden a climb
Muscles tiring as bones they ache
Through the battle i arrive my soul can shine
