A LOOK AT LIFE-19

A LOOK AT LIFE-19
BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY

Time
Never go away
For in you lies my entire life
Its ups and downs
Its beauty and glamour
And all that I loved and relished
Over these years

Let me go down
The memory lane
To my early childhood
To feel the warmth of relationships
Mother's touch and father's love
Teacher's concern and sister's affection
And the care free life
Led in the scenic beauty of nature

Take me
To the glorious days of youth
Colourful and fascinating
To feel the nicest of relationships
I have ever had
And the drive and motivation
With which I worked and worked

Time
Just hang on a bit
For I die to see once more
That beauty under the veil
And feel those most fulfilling moments
That made my life a sheer poetry
On earth

The moment
Stay a while
For I am to see life once again
Give me a bit of you
For I know
The next is not mine
