Day by day it grows
Elongates at end, so is shadows
Branches bloom to balance
Each one in unique manner
Yet same with strong roots
I am LIFE that springily shoots
In air to fathom the dreams.
Innocence vanishes with time
Mankind hypocrisy overshadows
When I look at foundation
Soon there is beam of realization
Again, gathering courage, I stand
With will strong I can gauge
With past reflections I pledge to shine.
Each bud transforms in blissful flower
Tons of efforts, care is showered
New surroundings grab attention
Few resists change, few take flight
Few return to share, few never care.
Yet I wish each one abundantly
Happiness in their path and some for me.
For some I am a relief
But for few, a hurdle, a barrier
I forgive the self-absorbed, as I always do
Recurrent compelling belief I instill
Panoramical LIFE divulge surprises
Stay strong, stay tall and composed
Like a tendril withstanding gust of wind.
