Every soul fears from this
That one day I will have to die,
Not understanding the terms of life;
That death is common to all.
Who am I to be beautiful, brilliant, or affluent?
If I will also have to dissolve one day,
For my money, intelligence or elegance would not save me.
Death can never be avoided.
But, can be held back;
With a delectable recipe
The main ingredients- love and care
And a pinch of strength.
See, what I discovered while fighting this formidable foe.
The only path to immortality
Is surrendering selfishness.
The one who is not a sinner
Will be blessed
He will be inspired by his fear.
Life is a set of cards
Where you have the ace of spades
And look, now it’s your turn.
