Struggle.. Poem by Veeraiyah Subbulakshmi

Struggle..

Rating: 5.0


Life is tough for every single flower,
that has to endure the mighty power,
Life is tough for every single flower,
that has to do it alone over and over.

Has to sway to the tune of the wind,
has to dance to the beat of the rain,
has to tolerate the moods of the sun,
has to settle high on thin stem.

Life is tough for every single flower,
that blooms with hope and willpower,
to face every obstacle on its way,
to be victorious every day.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
I watch the flowers bloom in my garden, from the buds to flowers. Sometimes when it is very hot, I watch the flower to be 'sad' and when it rains it is soaked with water and unable to carry itself. If the flowers can endure such obstacles, we, human can endure pain and sufferings silently, but we always make noise and let others to know our pain.

Struggle for individual existence and survival of the fittest themes are decorated in an array of well knitted framework. It is really educative as struggle is the basic need of all the organisms :) Beautiful1
