Life is beautiful

Friday,18th Feb 2022

Lead

Intelligently

Feel

Earnestly

If life is love

believe in it

if life is a race

bravely face it

if life is a place to enjoy

ride over with a joy

if life is a hurdle

offer full struggle and handle it

if life is disappointing

harbor it with no ill feelings

if life has a fragrance of a flower

smell it and offer respect

if you think, life is yours

then, lead it with no fears

if life really belongs to you

never do wrong and pass through

if life is precious, dear and worthwhile

sit not alone with disgrace, but walk miles before you sleep
