An Extremely Relatable Poem on Life

Life is a journey, a story,

It has it’s troubles and glory.                                        

It is a challenge, a race,

Going sometimes slow and sometimes in an accelerated pace.

A sense of urgency dominates every waking hour,

All that you are left with is memories sweet and sour.                                        

Sometimes stricken with grief and sorrows,

With a breakneck speed we are journeying across towards our tomorrows.

With every twist and every turn,                                    

There is so much you get to learn.                                

Moments of ecstasy provide you with a secret thrill, a high,

Makes you know how beautiful life is and why,        

With every level,    

There is a mystery you unravel.

Live it with optimism and a thrill,                                

With a smile,endurance,love and goodwill.                

With this in mind you’ll go far,                                      

Gleaming and beaming like a star.
