Days After-19 Poem by Smrui Ranjan Mohanty

And after

DAYS AFTER-19

What matters is not
How much you lived
What matters is
How much life still left in you

What matters is not
How many summers you encountered
How many winters you endured
How many springs you lived

What matters is
Do you have the will and adaptability
To withstand the changing moods of seasons
To see many more summers and winters through
To live a few more springs
With passion and enthusiasm

Does not matter
How you lived till now
What matters
How you are planning to carry yourself
And live with zest and gaiety till the very end.

What matters is not
How you spent time to date
What matters is
How you are going to make up for
The time spent in vain
And make the best use of
The most creative phase of life
With gusto, fervour and drive
