[(‘“*JiĢäR*”’)]

The moon that fades after lighting the night
The sun that sets after warming the day
The flowers that wither after feasting the eye
They obliquely announce, life is a fleeting dream

once flourished may fade and die
Trees towering high may fall and rot
Rivers that swell can dry up once
The same is true of our life on earth

At times we soar on wings of joy
At times we drown and are deep in grief
Does it not remind us of a vital truth
That life on Earth can never be the same

We are travellers on this wild terrain
Heading timorously towards an unknown goal
Ever tossed by the vicissitudes of life
Fated evenly to partake of smiles and tears

Know that all the paths we tread along
Finally converge on a single spot
At the tomb, we just pause awhile
To resume our journey to lands beyond

All that counts is how well we lived
And not how long we have been here
So mend your life as your conscience directs
Bridge the gap between words and deeds

Believe your heart knows what is best
It will show the route you should take
While Faith and Hope together brighten up life
is a magic door to very many hearts!
