THE GIFT OF LIFE

I see the nature through my eyes,

the plants, the trees and the sky above.

The raging fire within me,

unharms the birds that fly above.

I feel everything with my skin,

things made by god and then by man.

Feeling the air through my soul,

i feel everything on and above this land.

I smell the transient fragrances around,

smells of the vivacious roses i found.

What is filthy,what's two days old?

I wouldn't have known sans my nose.

My taste buds relish the delicacies in my mouth,

whether they are from north or from down south.

Sweet,salty,bitter or hot,

tasty food,OH! i love a lot.

Last but not the least are the sounds i hear,

the chirping of birds,the silence of fear.

The swirling of winds get me high on life,

these are the rules of nature,by which i abide.

Life has gifted me,these five senses,

sans which,i would have been lost.

The possession of these,makes me a winner,

without which ,the essence of life loses its colour.
