An Ode To Life Poem by Avirat Shete

In love with life, she's my darling sweet
All her temper tantrums, with open arms I greet

Shows me days of utter bliss at times
Everything in sync, each syllable rhymes

Perfect poetry, she portrays every mood
Enamoured by her acts, to her I am glued

Happiness bestowed by her, beyond any count
Gurgling brook silly, or gaily dancin fount

Her spring dies down some, I see her ugly side
Wild angry steed, can neither tame nor ride

That's a passing phase, I know she'll come around
Ears perked up, to hear her lively sound

A nightingale crooning atop the blossom cherry
Festive bells ringing, I dance n make merry

We've been through so much in decades three
On the same ground, sometimes we disagree

We fight, we quarrel, we sulk but only for a while
Fickle Life unfazed, she uses all her guile

Charms, cajoles and curses- in one single breath
I raise a toast to Life, I love you until death

Till death do us apart, let's shower love such
I owe you everything, from you I've learned much

Sweet n salty memories, I'll always treasure
You've blessed me dear, beyond any measure.....
