"LIVE TO LEARN"

'O' learn thee sodden mortal,

          life is nothing but wisdom's bottle.

Learn from the rising sun

          breaking the slumber of the night,

fight the clouds at every single turn

          that always balks its flight.

Learn from the infants crave, 

           stumbles,toddles but stands resurrect.

Kicks the stones as a brave ,

           that always blocks his gate.

Learn from the growing trees,

           going cadaverous in the autumn.

stands erect but shades its leaves,

            gains pelf from its bottom.

Learn from the hopping frog,

             waiting for the happy rain.

awakes from exile in the bog,

              enjoy the beach even in drain.

Learn from the raging sky,

              shows its fury but quenches the earth.

lords with thunder and cry,

               makes mortals abstain from dearth.

'O' learn thee stoical mortal,

               to endure deathly struggles and perseverance.

You can crack the heavenly portal,

                with so much of mundane reverence.
