On Life
written by: Nafisa Shabbir
Life is like an onion
Layer after layer is peeled
And then, if you look deep
The inner core is revealed
Life is like a drum
To its music, we do march
Often, we may be beaten
But, look for the rainbow’s arch
Life is like a cloud
It keeps on sailing ahead
You can even watch its progress
While reclining on your bed
Life is an unopened treasure
We don’t know what it may bring
But, keep on seeking clues in it,
Do not to the past, cling
Life has many phases
Though we are granted, and live just one
So love, play, and laugh
And enjoy your day in the sun
I am a senior citizen who has been writing/composing since my teens and I would like to share my thoughts with like-minded people.
