Once in Lifetime

Trumps and travails, good and grey shades

Life is a series of unpredictable maze

Gradually we learn to pass through

Slush and serenity, sickness and sanctity

Everyone has to pass through life’s ordeals

We know there is only one life to live

We are born to die but once in a lifetime

We must do something  worthwhile

Live life to the fullest, don’t complain, crib or cut the crap

In hurt or mirth remain calm and detached

Heartache or happiness embrace them alike

Keep loving and living with liveliness, each moment of life

We get this life only once

We are bound to be a part of the dust

Once in a lifetime create moments in everyone’s life

Whom you converge in the path of life

Because  life isn’t  lived by the breaths we take

But by the moments that take our breath away

Till you are on the earth, weave a legacy of gaiety and grace

Get moments crystallised as artistic and aesthetic creations

That win appreciation and applause from coming  generations

Be the victor, once in a lifetime  you get a chance to write history
