Living

A Poem by Bhavya

Do you feel your heartbeat?
The calculative thumping of it,
Or perhaps the shine in your eyes�"
Like the rays of the sun;
The colour of your lips,
Blooming like a flower;
The strength of your arms,
That can pick up the heaviest of burdens;
The power of your legs,
That carry your entire body;
Your lungs, because of which you draw breath;
Your hands that can create wonders,
Your voice that can be heard,
Your actions that can change the world.
A human is a magnificent beast, God’s most majestic creation.
Do not ruin this masterpiece�" Dwelling on the past will torment you;
Worrying about the future will make you anxious.
Be happy , be full of gratitude and humility;
Make every second count.
As with a snap of your fingers,
This magnificient beast will become nothing but a carcass,
For who knows what happens tomorrow?
Only one thing is certain,
Death will surely arrive�"
So make the most of this moment.
