LIFE



The world is full of
Joy as well as sorrow.
So do think of today
Not of tomorrow.

As life is short
Always  learn to give.
Make the most of it
As long as you live.

Even during the tough times
Theres someone to protect you.
Who loves you dearly
And is always true to you.

He keeps on guiding you
Just as the moon in the dark.
Never lets you move away
From your destined path.

You need to guide others
As God guided you.
Keep on serving them
Make their dreams come true.

Your death should not be considered
As some wind has passed  gone.
It should be such that
People remember you for long.
