A strong will

Hours and days of life Rapidly get devoured; And the fleeting time Keeps on hunting us.

Despite being aware Time keeps chasing us; We keep on thirsting For the fountain of joys.

Squeezed and crushed By unforeseen upheavals; Life’s hopes get shrunk, And nightmares creep out.

At times, flowery paths At times, thorny paths; But confidence is the power, Patience is the real healer.

A strong will liberates us, Yes, a positive bent uplift us, Pluck out the thorns of ego, To feel ever-new contentment.
