Life, a Journey

Life, a journey
A life-long journey
Beginning with an end
Beginning of the end!!!

Walk the way
With care
Stage by stage
Step by step

Among the people
Along the way
Be with some
Together we move

Munching memories
Shouldering sorrows
Miles to go
Mind, to move
Heart, to halt
What to do?
Wait a minute.

Stop by the listening tree
Chat with her
Sitting at resting-stone
Relax a while.

Sit.
Chat.
Relax.
Refresh.
Renew the walk.
Miles to go……

Walk the way
Tired, exhausted?
Say No to fume and fury
Next-stop ahead……

Sit by the listening tree
Chat.
Relax.
Refresh.
Renew the walk…….
Till reach the goal……….
