Geetha Jayakumar - Life with Struggles!

What a struggle an unborn baby makes to push his way into this beautiful world.
He cries with pain when a knife cuts him to separate from umbilical cord.
He cries when he opens his eyes for the first time he sees the light,
Surrendered by unknown voices and people.
He cries in hunger, pain and uneasiness.
He struggles when he learns to speak, crawl, walk and run.
He struggles when he stand on his own feet and to maintain it forever.
He reaches in his peak of success.
His life stabilises for some years.

Then the downfall begins
With changes in fragile body and heart and mind.
He further struggles to cope up in life.
He take double effort to maintain well his body, heart, mind and soul,
He struggles when his soul leaves his body and flies away.

Life Begins and Ends in Struggle!
