Adventure Of Life Poem by Majed Dodeen

Adventure of Life - By: Majed Dodeen
*********************************
Life is a short journey,
Tiny & little span of time,
A ride from station to station,
Destination to destination,
From birth to life to death,
Predestined walks we've got to take
Boarding the train of life
In a tour or sightseeing
The trip may surprise, energize or delight us
It may carry changes within its folds
May involve fluctuations and wonders
Rises and falls, ups and downs,
But do not let its distresses and sorrows disappoint you
Not even for a few moments
Don't regret what is too late to get
Rejoice what is coming next
'Live every day as if it's your last,
Embracing each experience as if it's your first'.
And thank Allah through thick and thin,
In prosperity and in adversity
Time flies so fast
The heartbeats will stop one day
The soul will be called in,
To knock the gates of heaven
Ascending high in the sky
Carried by the angels of mercy
What a beautiful meeting!
With the Creator of the heavens and the earth
The life of the righteous and pious will be
A journey of joy and happiness
There are spaces and places in life
For faithful workers
For dreamers
And believers
Those who reflect and contemplate
No matter how you experience sadness, difficulties and troubles
Keep going! Keep trying and climbing!
Towards the summit, keep flying
Life is an ebb and flow
The knowledge of the unseen is a guarded and concealed from the eyes of people
Once in a while some pages are revealed.
So invest every single second in your short life
Draw smiles of satisfaction
On your lips and Appearance
'Be pleased with what Allah has allocated for you
And you shall be the richest of people'
