What is Life?

Poem Dated: 29.5.91

And what is this life?
That people talk about
Sometimes they tell me
But I still have a doubt

Is life a fruit to eat
Or is it a flower to smell
Oh what is this life?
Its so hard to tell

Than I hear a voice that says
Life is not a flower to smell
Nor is it a fruit to eat
You can't buy life or sell

Life is a very complicated thing
Which has its ups and downs
Which may sometimes make you smile
But sometimes give you frowns

Some people find it dull
But some have a very high hope
In reality life is like
Climbing a steep slope

At the bottom its easy
And you're eager to climb more
But as you go up it becomes harder
Making you tired and sore

Some people give up easily
But some climb up all the way
And they're the ones who succeed
On one glorious day

So my friends just an advice
Don't let the ups and downs of life stop you
Work hard to reach your goal
Then you can rest all you want to.
