Life In A Flower Pot


I find life around me most amazing thing
Full of life
People everywhere so much life
From all walks of life,
For some life is joy
For some life is painful,

Some live as though they are ready to leave anytime
Some at the fag end of their lives look vibrant brimming with joy,
For some life is all about having fun
For some it is all about spoiling others fun,
Some are born to study 
Some appear as if they are born to eat, sleep ,watch TV,
For some it is nothing but earn earn- earn till the bucket kicked.


What ever it is,
Finally what is this life all about!!!!!
Is it just because we are born,
Live & leave one day as if we are born to die:)


Oh my God!What is this life all about...
With these life evoking thoughts
I looked at the flower pot in front of me
As if for the first time iam looking at a flower- in my life time:)


Yahoo!!!i got an answer..
As if the greatest truths are hidden in simplest things
Answer for life in a flower !!!
Bud bloomed into a flower
Spreading the fragrance living its life to the fullest
When time comes Whither off as gracefully as it bloomed


How simple life IS   !!!!
