A Long Journey With Little Time


A lifetime appears to be a prolonged journey

Similar to hiking up an elevated mountain reaching the sky

And a cascading waterfall that never stops flowing

The destination may be a great distance away

But when accomplished

Life seems so short

Solitary, boring days drag on

Vibrant, joyful days swiftly accelerate

If only we had the capability to control time

Freezing treasured moments

Gliding past miserable days

But this snatches away the meaning of life

For it is all about accepting circumstances

Bringing smiles on others’ faces

Lighting our realm with lamps of happiness

Passing down worshipped traditions and culture

Planning the future

Summoning the past

Thereby bestowing value to the present

Why waste a life when God has blessed us with one

Pray and continue believing in God

And life will naturally transform into a beautiful one

Time will keep ticking

Sparkling stars will illuminate the dark sky

Nature will remain as a mark of paradise

Deep within our heart and soul

We must believe one thing

Life is very short

But it is long enough if you live with all your heart

Break the rules

Forgive quickly

Love passionately

Laugh uncontrollably

And never regret anything that made you smile
