Lovely Life! ? Poem by Bose Perumal

The face I saw-☺
Yesterday was-a smile.
Today was grim, desperate☻
Tomorrow is ………? .yet to be seen.
Yet, Ho! God made me smart!
Dream is not real!
Real is not Life?
Life and dream bind,
The poor mind is boggled,
My poor companion is troubled; 10

The sun shines as usual, ☼
The dark night is colossal; ▓
Dawn and dusk are mutual,
Time’s torrent drowns me;
Hope and Despair loved,
Faith raised its index,
Mighty fool! Am I?
The hell and heaven are bare-
God wishes, ‘I’ despise,
Dream and life leave,
Am I to think for a while! 21

A simple smile harmonizes,
A hearty laughter inspires;
A sincere effort paves the way,
Dedicated work completes the day.
Hope leads to the realm of Light,
Faith loves us to be Innocent! 27

Oh! Heavens, what a lovely life,
To be loved, and to be lived;
Life is real! Dream its shadow,
My Heart and soul deems the rest. 31
