Quite often, caught up in the busyness of life,?

Advertisement

We make it a race, and stress on our pace.?

Advertisement

We forget to pause, to breathe, to be -?

And overlook what truly is our lifeline.

We should be peaceful in our timeline

Advertisement

We should regularly stop and ask ourselves:?

Is this worth my peace??

Or is it just another piece?

In the ever-changing puzzle of life?

But here's the bright side -?

We get to start over,?

To grow, and rearrange the pieces?

As many times as we like.

In the garden of life,?

Be the blossoming flower,?

Not just the hay.?

Be beautiful in your own way,?

With just the right touch of sunshine and rain.

And let us not forget to respect the weeds too -

For they are simply flowers?

Who refuse to grow in rows.

They are the wild notes in nature's song,?

The perfect reminder that ?

Life needs a little wildness now and then.

Mannat Sharma, Class X, Kids 'R' Kids Secondary School, Chandigarh
