Oh! Life I Love You

Oh ! Life ,I love you 

Oh ! life ,

my  beautiful co traveler 

what should I say 

I love you every day 

what you give 

me on this path 

I will accept

with all my heart ...

Oh ! life 

I don’t know till today 

why i never 

understood your ways 

I love you so much 

that I  keep walking 

with hope and faith 

as long as you are with me 

I fear no enemy ...

Oh ! life 

your roads at times 

are full of puddles 

and potholes 

at times ,soft green grass 

strewn with earthy flowers 

both exist side by side 

you’ve taught me to 

endear them alike ...

Oh ! life 

despite all the pain 

you never leave my side 

even when I cry 

you raise my spirits 

by  strength and courage 

and bring joy and pleasure 

for me to treasure ..

Oh ! life 

you are Gods gift 

so it matters not 

if you drop me 

or give me a lift 

it’s these ups and downs 

which make  me feel alive 

for to live  life 

in a straight line 

means I don’t really survive ....
