Life

In this glorious world
To the child, as you are,
Trying not to get far
With wings unfuried,
Mum is no mum till she feeds you,
Dad is no dad till he heeds you,
But whatever his trend,
A friend is no friend,
Till he begins where others end:
He just speeds you!
From behind the wall - daring all
Who could know - in and out
How he brings this about
In his rally, at his first call.
To quote what one wrote.
(deserving a jubilant vote)
،،a bell is no bell till you ring it.
A song is no song till you sing it,
Love in your chest is not put there to stay,
Love is not love till you give it away,
And a heart in no heart till you wring it.
Light rays, human faith, global space,
Revealing both future and past,
With time s mystery face to face.
Screening time , watching life aghast,
Some, look in, where truth is lone
As life multiplying apace,
Beyond all doubts
Above all routs
Others seek, up there, what is gone
Why totally leaving no trace4. Living today, in such fray,
While life to most is still a race
Playing games, having aims with an Ace
Breaking records, so to say,
To the blessed few,
(Be It ever so Gory)
Be not minding who plays,
But refining all his ways,
As with friends new,
Rests now the case,
Rests now the case,
No more life - is just glory
But grace?
