Keep your eyes open

Sometimes one is scared of difficulties in life but to make countless efforts is a universal solution. So live your life and spread happiness. And keep your eyes open.

Life is a far away journey,
where you fall as you stumble.
Fighters, strugglers who rise to challenges,
are called the ultimate winners.
Life is like, a coin having two sides,
one shows the path of struggles and rewards.
Wastage, emptiness on the other side,
what's your side it is upto yours.

Better to strive, run through the tides,
reaching out towards the destiny.
Or fear, lose, lurk and hide,
take a coward's name identity.
Karma, the circle of life,
what you serve, you'll find in return.
Goodness prevails in high well being,
what's bad and good you must discern.

Throw your loving arms around the world,
foster the sense of peace, belonging and love.
Decorate your life like diamonds in sky,
make yourself worthy for other people.
Celebrate everyday like your last one,
never let you sound weak or feeble.


And always,
keep your ey-eyes open.

"throw your loving arms around the world" yes, we need to embrace life, strive to make that coin land on the side of moving forward, celebrate life rather than run away from it, or be miserable over obstacles that come along--
some really sound philosophy of theme here and really good phrasing.

"Karma, the circle of life, what you serve, you'll find in return."

Definitely loved this saying. A great read. Thank you for sharing.

This has to be one of your bests!! :))That was passionate, motivating and beautiful. I love that song too. Taylor Swift is one of my favourite modern artists.
It's like you filled each and every word with gunpowder... an amazing feat actually...
It is difficult to pick my favourite lines from such a great array, but I would say I really loved these ones

Well done, I say!!! :))

Remarkable display of patriotism and insight. Very well penned!

Hi armin. I was with you all the way through the first two stanzas. Then I feel like you took a new direction and left me behind. My request is that you play with that last stanza a little, I'm thinking you have the talent to improve on this, alf

You are right, life is like a coin that has two sides to it. And it's up to us to pick the right side, nobody else. Very deep and meaningful poem.

motivational, beautiful message and wording. Enjoyed reading it :)

Absolutely. I was just having such a conversation with someone who cannot begin to grasp the concept. It's very sad and more people need to open "loving arms" and embrace the world. We will never find peace without understanding.

"What you serve, you'll find in return." So very true. Makes me recall, "Reap what you sow"

an excellent poem Armin, you give good advice to the world, its worth reading again and again :)

Armin: I loved every word; encouraging, great flow; powerful impacting message for all; you hit each point like the words are sharpened arrow; as a professional you released the bow direct center of the target it flew, like into my heart and mind. This is my favorite part: but it is all wonderfully.

Thank you so very much: Dale
