Gently Down The Stream
The journey of life
Is like going to school
Having born, we have to go through
Education is the purpose of being
Just as athe child goes to school
Life exists as we breathe in and out
Each year passes by with a promotion
And life too rolls on to the next grade of experience.
As much as the student is endowed
With intelligence and the right environment
There is success or failure
Joy or sorrow through the school
Just as dropouts stagnate
At that level of study
Life's quitters hover around
The same wavelength of experience
They have to enroll again to move on
One does not mourn the end of school days
When they have to go ahead and
Meet the challenges of the world without.
Just so with life, when death comes
It is just the last day
In the school of Earth International
A preparation for our work and life
In the Universe beyond.
