Gautam Sen (Kolkata)
Life Is A Legacy
A veteran tourist on the end part of his journey
Call all the young ones who've just started their tour,
Path is patchy with thorns of pains too corny
Yet all have to trade along to the life's deep core.
Passport was granted right on your arrival on earth,
What unknown is that the termination of your visa –
Till then keep your move on to discern the mirth
Of this tourist spot and enjoy the well spread vista.
Discover the wisdom of life's crooked detour,
How hard it may be to sustain hardship that comes.
Get your heart filled with splendor of beauty obscure
Then the lights of life would reflect with full spectrums.
Revere this message from an age-old soul,
Being duty bound to pass on the torch of life
gives place for apt and able buddies to extol
The charismatic grace of the nature so rife.
