The thing is that this is life!


Smiles in the childhood and lots to play
Shiny is the night and bright is the day
No need to worry, no reason to cry
No need of wings to get you to fly


Soon comes the time when we become teenagers
Friends in school and messages on pagers
Play with the football, eat the chips
Laugh a lot while having slips


Soon you enter the crew of the youth
This is the time to choose your booth
One is responsibility- the other, just fun
With one comes success! With other, life burn!


The choice is yours so select the good
And don't hide your abilities in a hood
Work hard and wear noble kits
As we get spoilt by bad habits


The time comes when one gets to old age
And bones get weak in the body's cage
When consciousness betrays and comes nervousness
But grand-daughters and grand-sons give happiness


Not all happiness, not all grief!
In every case, be patient and heave
Silvery sweet, yet sharp like a knife
The thing is that this is life!
