Cycle of Life

Alone we have come
And alone we have to go
Still why do we need company
In the form of a friend or a foe

We need mum to teach us talk
And dad to teach us how to walk
We need grandma for bedtime stories
And granddad for the frequent lollies

We need our siblings to standby us
In every testing time that may come
We need our friends to help us grow
In their company they make us glow

This face makes the heart beat faster
This presence makes the world so brighter
It’s always good to hold this hand
And fingers behold the magic band

Its good to hear the chirping sounds
And good to see them running around
Guiding them to a bright future
Time goes by in care n nurture

And then we share what we had got
With grandma’s stories first in lot
Followed by ice creams and chocolates hot
And tough lessons that life has taught

Thus we complete the cycle of life
With parents, friends, relatives and spouse
All these become memories of gold
A treasure that can’t be bought or sold

No money or land or jewels we take
But these memories have a difference to make
Even when our lives cease
These memories help us rest in peace.

To think that all these days I never knew you had blogged.. and 3 years ago!! Tum toh chupa rustam nikli yaar :-) I'm still reeling in shock.

This is beautiful stuff. I love the poem. Every word is so true :)Without memories, life's incomplete. As for the people, we need them & we don't need them.

Please please start blogging again!!!!
