WHAT AM I ?



What am I ?

I am an ocean that bears all bitter experiences,
I am a brook that moves forward inspite of all hindrances.
I am a candle that burn to light it surroundings  
I am a cuckoo the on seeing summer in everyone's garden, sings .
I am a vernal breeze that at dawn wakes up flowers,
I am a star that until its extinction brightens the dark hours.
In all men such traits must be
As in them are the realities of life and humanity.
