Rohan Nath - Journey

Birth is just the start of an epic voyage.
The smile of a mother's face is radiant.
The first cry of happiness is joyous.
The effort for a fresh life is brilliant.

Life is a journey completely alone.
Fight everyday like it's a new encounter.
For it is a battle yet to be won.
And only who struggles shall conquer.

Time is the old-man keeper of our life.
Counting every second before our eternal sleep.
So why don't we get up and strive,
Before we rest six feet deep?
