Is Life Worth Living For.? Poem by Jay P Narain

Is Life worth living for.?

In my sleep and in my dreams,
In my thoughts and in my reflections,
I have a daunting question,
Is life worth living for?

To measure the immeasurable,
To scale the unthinkable,
The worth of life,
Seems pretty inconceivable.

Life may be worth living,
If you live the life well,
With a positive attitude, share your life,
The joy of living is to enjoy the joy of others.

Childhood dreams get stuck on becoming super heroes,
Adulthood strives hard to attain wealth and fame,
Golden years seek the solace in redemption,
The soul always questions, is the Life worth living for?

Sometimes events bring us to the edge,
May it be a failed love or a failed goal?
These times we ask whether the life is worth living for,
Without realizing that these events were not the end of the world.

When the body goes to the eternal rest,
Would anyone remember what the life was worth for?
Money and wealth will soon disappear,
Poems and paintings would gradually wither.

Did you touch a sprouting heart with generosity?
Did you seed your wisdom in the perpetual eternity?
Did you comfort someone in pain?
Did you make your life worthy and would not die in vain?
