This is Life

A poignant poem about the harsh realities of life, by Sumana. A Different Truths exclusive.

How life changes its colour
Once who resided in your heart
Suddenly seems unknown
And leave you forever.

Life is all about high and low
When a friend turns in foe
You never know.

Whom you trusted most
Your heart astonishes
How they hurt you utmost.

Today, who is poor, tomorrow’s rich
You could even touch the height
You never thought possible to reach.

Keep going, keep going
In every phase of life, there is
Some lesson to learn and teach.

Every day you become older
Each and every moment you grow,
But be ready for that divine God
Before whom somewhere somehow
You have to bow.
