A Journey Called Life Poem by RIDDHI SHAH

Life was good when i loved a boy...
But he played with my heart as if it was a toy.
I cried and cried...until all my tears dried...
But there was no soul...who could fill in my life, his hole.

My life became painful...it became worse...
I felt to be bearing the brunt of some curse.
I lost my happiness...I lost my smile...
Life looked like an eternal road stretched across miles n miles.

It was then that i decided enough is enough...
I will survive ahead though the roads are tough.
My aim is to reach in the path of success, the highest peak...
It's now time to show people that i am not weak.

I made it a firm decision on my part...
and started moving ahead with a lighter heart.
My smile returned to my face...
and my life regained its normal pace...

Time, the best healer...erased all my pain...
I got back, over my life, my rightful claim.
The hole that he left had now got filled...
and my FIRST LOVE, in my heart with happy memories, got sealed.

I promised myself that happy is the way I am meant to be...
And soon, Good luck will find its way to me...
And it did, blessing me with the Love of my life...
Who fell in love with me & took me as his wife.

His love erased away all my pain..
Now I can see rainbows in each rain..
This minute...This day...Life's perfect now...
And for the future...I am hopeful somehow.

Life bought people into my life...Both right & wrong...
But each obstacle made me strong...Each challenge taught me the Wisdom song.
Neither am I too naïve...Nor absolutely wise...
Still a lot to learn & blessings to earn, I do realize.

The journey ahead is vastly unknown...
Neither too slow..Nor too fast...But still feels long!
But I now know...What I didn't know then...
Life's beautiful..Even though it comes with a serving of pain!

I've been burned to my soul..
I've walked over hot coal..
But amongst each tear, I realize I can survive..
Each time I feel like everything ends..I realize I am still Alive!

So far That's my story..
Some tales of despair..Some boast of glory!
Each revealed to me the secret to the Good Life's Art...
It's a smile on your lips & Hope in your heart!
