Life

Lakestani 1960 (Kerman)

Rhymed
LIFE
Life is like a stage
Keep balancing on the edge
Some play as it arrange
Some behave as they manage
No matter which language
You speak at early age
You receive several messages
Don’t speak to strangers
Eat spinach and orange
Be ready for each challenge
As you become a teenage
No smoke no beverage
When you go to the collage
More study more knowledge
Be aware about your age
Fall in love and marriage
Life is like a voyage
Wonderful and strange
 You cross so high bridges
Or through narrow passages
Be ready take your luggage

About this poem

My native language is Persian and Persian poems are mainly rhymed. So this rhyming piece was written under the influence of reading and dealing a lot with Persian poetry.
