Four Compulsory Journey We Must All Make



Four Compulsory Journey We Must All make

The morning;
Often comes to aid our journey of life with a bang!
And we look so teen and mean showcasing innocence..

Then, suddenly the noon;
With its overlapping legs comes overtaking
The childish bends and conners of our life's journey..

Where we relish the glows of the sunshine
Along the routes as we were washed
In our creasely hard sweats..

And within a jiffy, the old age;
Comes in brandishing its balms
showcasing the of strides of ashes..

And while still rueing in the thoughts of the journey;

Death!
Comes to bless us
With the benefit of unsolicited rests..

With heads bowed to the unfriendly grave
Because none ever wants to die!
Yet four journeys compulsorily made.
