Mamta Agarwal - That's Life

Life is not fair,
So it is futile to compare.
Grass always seems greener on the other side,
Who knows what skeletons in their cupboard people hide?

That couple who seem to be made for each other,
In privacy, for all you know may not be talking to one another.
The man who seems to have achieved all his goals,
Might be waging wars in the silent chambers of his soul.

A woman may hide her tears behind her make up and smile,
As she doesn’t want to appear cynical and senile.
We all have to play the cards we have been dealt with,
And try to remain calm and not seethe.

Every hardship is an opportunity to grow,
So keep on moving even if you feel low.
I hold silent conversations with God,
And ask “what lessons am I supposed to learn lord?

If in silence you listen to your inner voice,
You will be able to maintain your poise.
Don’t lose hope, at times that’s all you have.
Take one day at a time and be brave.

Acceptance, surrender gives a lot of peace,
Lighten your burden and help one to move with ease.
