When one looks back on life
At different stages of it,
When young for all it would be
Happy and with expectations
When in forties when one looks
It would be a surprise that
How many challenges
One had faced and crossed
In the late fifties, it would be
Satisfying if the life had taken
On the way they expected
In the late sixties and seventies
Though it would be a mixture of
Happiness of achievements
There is also depression
From some failures
But after the seventies and
At the onset of the eighties
One is bound to feel the
Superfluousness of wealth,
Health, time and purpose
Contradictions and confusion
How wealth is superfluous
How health is exasperating
There is always either the
Fear of the finale or dismay
Of several changes and challenges
Yet, one’s wait continues for the
Nature alone to take care! |
