Life is a Journey

Saud Ilyas 1990 (Lahore)



Life is a tapestry,
Woven with threads of gold and silver,
Of sunshine and shadow,
Of joy and of sorrow.

It's a dance that we do,
A song that we sing,
A journey that takes us,
To the furthest reaches of everything.

We come into this world,
As tiny seeds in the soil.
We sprout and we grow,
Into something that's more than oil.

We find our way through the maze,
Of all the twists and turns.
We stumble and we fall,
But we always find a way to return.

We chase our dreams and passions,
We chase the things that set our hearts on fire.
We live and we love,
And we never, ever tire.

For life is a gift,
A precious, precious thing.
It's up to us to live it,
To give it all we bring.
