Life is beautiful

I asked God – A translation

I had read similar lines somewhere before. The thoughts kept lingering in my mind for a long long time. It’s strange but true that the thoughts take a wonderful form of poetry and just flows. Some of my friends say that most of my poems are philosophical. I still think that I am too young to teach anyone anything about life. This poem just happened to manifest itself from some lingering thoughts and hence I say it’s a translation of someone else's thought. I am just a means, a channel to present the same to you.

Here it goes....

I asked God – A translation

Of humans’ what’s the most fascinating?
He smiled and said there is not just one thing.

He looses his health for the want of wealth,
And later, spends it all for a better health.

He looses his present for the worries of the future,
And not living today becomes his nature.

And He lives like he’s never going to die.
And dies as if he’s never lived.
