Song of Life

This idea just popped into my head, hope you like it :)

The song of a sapling, our debut in this world

Crying and giggling without a care in the world

Though possibilities are infinite, days are finite

But worry not, a child’s far from that final night

The song of a puppy is filled with innocent joy

Running and laughing, oh how I envy you boy

Enjoy this freedom, for all things have an end

Cherish the days that society cannot bend

The song of the tide with its mighty ebb and flow

So much passion you have, but please take it slow

You’re a hurricane, in this tumultuous phase

But worry not, there is an end to this maze

The song of worry filled with momentous decisions

Do not fear failure for the years hold more transitions

Listen to your heart and mind, your passion and logic

Do not live your life based on others’ rubric

The song of harvest, are you glad with your crops?

After all those years, you’ve reached the treetops

From the canopy, you glimpse a simmering new dawn

The new generation to whom you lay love upon

The song of satisfaction, oh how your children have grown

The success of them make your love and care shown

You sit and smile, reminiscing about your own time

Your family prospers whilst you wait for the final chime

The song of the crow, everyone’s final requiem

Your family by your side, your heart a full atrium

Success and failure: two sides of one coin

All that matters is your family by your side

The song of life bears an illusory end

The finale heralds a new overture

Be grateful and live with ardor

Then even Death you will transcend

Author's Note

My friends convinced me to write a happier poem as opposed to my usual depressing style. Hope you noticed the transitions in mood i tried to implement. I tried to make it get progressively sadder and melancholy, then brought out hope in the end: basically reincarnation.
