Essence of Life

A cuckoo on a mango tree;
A spider's web; a buzzing bee;
A blooming bud on a thorny stem;
Dewdrops sparkling like little gems;
The sun rising in the eastern sky,
Flocks of birds soaring high;
The full moon spreading its radiant glow,
Stars that shine all night through;
The neighing of a grazing horse;
Walls covered by a carpet of moss;
An ant carrying a grain of rice,
Ever heard the talks of mice?
Butterflies romancing with the flowers;
Buffaloes chewing the cud for hours;
A kitten's purr; a sparrow's chirp;
Snails crawling round a herb;
A rabbit twitching its pink nose;
Water in the river that incessantly flows;
Wind blowing the pollen grains;
The smell of the earth when it rains;
A puppy lapping milk from a bowl;
Ever noticed the burrow of a mole?
Life is work and work is life,
Man always walks on the road of strife,
But - pause a moment and look around -
A treasure of beauty you will have found;
And you'll cherish these moments for a long time to come,
These gifts of nature can never be summed.
The burden of work is overwhelmingly gripping,
But, these are the things that make life worth living!
