Why am I here



Why am I here

I am here …
To dance to the flight of birds
To rhyme to beautiful words

I am here …
To taste the nectar of the forests
To weave us like the bird's nests

I am here …
To sing like the birds, the river
To be as unique as a tiny sliver

I am here …
To mould and build like the anthill
As I imagine sitting over a windowsill

I am here …
To rise high as a green mountain
Then enjoy the sweetness of it's rain

I am here …
To build things large n strong
To perfect myself from the wrong

I am here …
To savour all the colors' richness
To bring us our peace and happiness

I am here …
To protect the beauty, the future
The Sun, the Sky, the bountiful Nature

I am here …
To love the softness of the Clouds
The butterflies, the angels in Shrouds

I am here …
To enjoy the hug, the dreams, the kiss
To live these beautiful moments in bliss

I am here …
To enjoy deep diving with a school of fish
To make and fulfill each of my forlorn wish

I am here ...
To enjoy playing n watching a game
To live n love my sweet good name

No matter what …
I always want to rejoice
Coz I know to my life I have a choice
To this World
I make sure to have my voice
So let's be happy n rejoice !!!
