Realisation

In the journey of life, from a child to an adult;

He possessed much,feeling mixed with praises and insult;

Accepting experiences, both good and bad;

And phases of time, being happy and sad;

He fought many struggles, losing and winning some;

Waiting for days and nights, for the rewards to come;

He faced many hurdles killing his hopes;

And question his fortune, "Am I bound with ropes?"

One such day, he arrived a cliff;

Where he saw the glowing sun and the cool water of relief;

He came with the thought of ending his journey;

And end his time and his life's attorney;

But after coming, his thoughts turned to a wonder;

As he related nature with his success and his blunder;

He realised the need of balance in the universe;

And life's two faces must be better and worse;

Instead of giving away his life in river Nile;

He threw his bag of sorrows with a gentle smile.
