Look at the bird which flies

Look at the bird which flies,
Humming from the far skies,
You know it is alone,
Its co-chirpers left long ago!


Still it laughs for nature,
It sings for all other creatures,
For those who love its song,
Which never makes things go wrong .

Look at the flower in full bloom,
Its sister was plucked by a gal for her room,
Still it dances for the wind from the moon,
And it blushes for the honey-bee every noon!

Look at the poor old tree,
The gale took away all his lovely leaves,
Yet he shelters every being,
Who are hiding from the nature or the mighty human beings!

Now look at you my dear pal,
How sad you are,
You have lost nothing yet you weep,
What is it that has hurt you so deep?

Everyone who lives has to lose,
Life has both brightness and gloom,
You just have to stick to joy,
Don’t become conditions’ toy.

From the reflections I have told you,
You have got things to do,
Don’t cry, don’t be so sad,
Life is good, it isn’t so bad.

Even if you lose your dear things,
You remember my saying,
Even when you are sad, there is someone,
Who wants to see you happy, with your life full of sun .

Laugh for them,
Sing for them.
Dance for them,
You can’t cry before them.

That’s nature’s rule you know,
Be happy, and make others so,
Coz happiness is very rare,
Please don’t lose it in some worthless tears.
