Life Is A SeeSaw

Life Is A SeeSaw

Childhood days of yore,
Relive those golden moments
They come again no more.
Take me back
To those unforgotten times
To relearn a lesson or two
And see life through
When stuck in growing pains.

Sitting on wooden plank
Two chirpy children
Bodies relaxed
Hands holding in tight grip
The handle of a seesaw
Alternating up-and-down
Backward-and-forward
A contest now one side
Now the other has the lead.

Legs hanging freely in the air
Balancing effortlessly
The child riding up and down
smiling all the way
Screaming in joy
Balancing always.

Well, every life
Cannot be without measure of darkness
For happiness would pale
If it were not balanced by pain
Move forward in life, Man
Never losing sight of your goals
Ask! You will receive ‘it’
Seek! You will find ‘it’
Knock! the door ‘it’ opens for you.
