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.

Wise advice in the words.
"And as America's sweetheart sang, always
keep your ey-eyes open."
Know your map and know what is in the front of you. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
