Add Life To Years

Melting clock: Live life beyond time
It just takes few seconds to get to the finishing line;
few minutes to call it a day at work and recline;

Few hours to meet that special someone;
few days to get your salary for the long weekend's fun;

Few months to get your valuable educational degree;
Few years for the prisoner to be set free.

Less than a second is all it takes
for the heartbeat that keeps you alive

Few seconds is all it takes to
breathe in oxygen and survive.

Decisions are made in no longer than a second
Accidents do kill, when no harm you would intend

Seconds spent in sorrow are always too long
Only time can filter the right from wrong

Stay calm and never lose your facial charm
Forgive, for revenge is always double the harm

A second for the baby to get ex-utero
And precious years of learning to talk and draw

And a little more years to eat, play and grow
Life's, then on, a short one-man show

So live those little moments, seconds to years
Embrace the priceless gifts of life - smiles and tears

Few seconds is all it took for you to read this rhyme
If you could catch the connotations, its worth the spent time

Let out the emotion; laugh out loud and shed those tears
Life is not about the years it has got.
Add life to years.
Add life to years.


 Life is made up of these very little moments.
Mat socho ki zindgi mein kitne pal hain. Ye dekho ki har pal mein kitni zindgi hain.

    1. Yes. Didn't really try sequencinh the imagination process. And when ideas were just waiting to get typed, they all fell in rhyme.
