What Life Teaches!

From life we learn many a valuable truth But alas! Some dismiss it as mere froth While life itself is a riddle Remember, Death is an inexorable puzzle Hatred burns life like fire And wickedness turns it into mire On Earth, forgiveness bonds hearts But revenge, sure, breaks all bonds Even a guilty falls prostrate Before the compassionate willing to commiserate Know, a true friend has no deceit And a truly learned has no conceit If jealousy is an acid which erodes Generosity is a fuel that reloads If inactivity is akin to death Creativity is vital as breath If perseverance conquers mountains Laziness dries up fountains While pride leads a man to his fall Humility takes him closer to his goal While Honesty leads him to salvation Deceit drives him to damnation Patience is an inexhaustible well And perversion, a sure road to hell Know that those who long for the crown Should also be torn by the thorn While love of God takes us to eternity Love of man leads us to fraternity Ye Friends, with such priceless tips learned in bits Light up your life in glowing glitz Bury your past with all its woes As the New Year of hope brightly zooms!
