On life boat
I am on calm river water with life boat
It is on surface and can be called simply afloat
It may cross many turns along with dashing the bank
No fear of running aground or to be called sank
So long it runs smooth life seems to be beautiful
Lots of joy and happiness with enjoyment plentiful
One may not come to know the quick passing of days
Yet it will be almost there to be enjoyed in number of ways
The critical days may not allow you to feel at home
You will be hunter from pillar to post and unwelcome
Not even luck would favor you at the nick of the time
People may think it otherwise to be with you as curse and crime
As saying goes little further “No one prefers setting of the sun”
They will hide the face and will make you unnecessary run
You will be shown the door and hurled with derogatory words
You may think of falling back with no intention of going forward
Many a times it is said the tide also favor speeding wind
You may clearly observe rhythms and nice tunes to find
This all finds favor with rising sun and outer shining
In absence of all this you may find all stars declining
It is advisable also to travel in favorable condition
You should enough of preparation and ammunition
The simple battle is lost only for the want of good preparation
The opportunity is not availed and the initiative is lost in question
Life is not certain and can be evaluated as such
You can not extract any meaningful out of it as much
You will have to shape it as per your need and requirement
Even though there is no limit to your aspirations and movement
All avenues and scopes are open and can be had with little effort
You can expect all the ships to land at your destination or port
So long it favors you; there can be no difficulty at all
Little negligence or miss of events can push you towards fall
So it is perception angle you take into account
There may be lot many worries which awaits to mount
It will be your sheer alertness that may anchor your ship
There won’t be any let up later on to shed tears or weep
Make it certain that you are in to face it with courage
You are in full control and likely to manage
Nothing can stop you for organizing it well
There will be then altogether different story to tell
