The Journey of Life..

Life is an amazing journey but many a times man wades through life and forgets to experience it. When we are young we long to grow up and take charge of life. In our middle age we are preoccupied with what we consider important. It's only when we grow old we realize how much we missed out in life and long to live life "just once again".

I often wonder why o why,

Things seem to remain the same,

Every step I take,

Brings me closer to the same.

The days drag on,

Night beckons me,

I stay up wide awake and weary,

Hoping for a change for the better or worse,

As long as it's not too adverse.

Amazing how life appeals to a child,

A child who knows no bounds,

One who remains undisturbed,

Finding delight in life, unperturbed.

How I long for the days of youth,

When life was fine and dandy,

When nothing seemed unattainable,

Life was a dream, only tenable.

Night beckons me, I long to sleep,

Dreaming about what could have been,

Soothing myself time and again,

Longing to be young just once again.
