The journey of life.. வாழ்க்கைப் பயணம்!

Securely felt floating in Mom's womb

Unwillingly with the cry on land bloomed

The journey of life started

Close to lovable hearts nurtured

Slowly raised head to crawl

Then struggled to balance feet as it was small

Smashed food helped to move in walker

Though stammered excited all as best talker

Later walked to school for basic knowledge

And for social exploration ran to college

But loved this golden age

Blindly admired everything beautiful at this stage

Then to build the Career flowed as river with bends

Then wandered joyfully with friends

Later was paired with responsibility in delight

But stood erect though beared stressful weight

Life compelled to swirl with the hands of the clock

Then time pushed with three legs to walk

Now weak heart yearned for peaceful talk

Feared a dreadful dream

Carried by eight legs – unable to scream

And life taught time never ever blooms

Showing the way to be laid in unsecured doom.

Thus the journey of life is based upon the different walks

Until breath ceases to rock.
