Reason To Live

 

When we come on this earth,

we don’t have any reason to live,

don’t have any feeling in heart,

don’t have any shadow in mind.

 

But as we grow up and look around,

we see a stranger,

whom we like to touch,

like to feel, like to have them near,

 

some are made for us,

and we live for them,

they may not like us,

they may not even know us,

but we care for them.

 

In the age of senses,

we find some people so dear to us,

but not that they are near to us,

we just love to give them,

love to help them, love to look them happy,

love to have them.

 

They give us pleasure of life,

they give us strength to survive,

they give us a reason to believe,

they give us a reason to live.

 

When we see tears in their eye,

we get upset,

when we see them deep in sorrow,

our heart begins to cry.

 

Their happiness brings smiles on our face,

touch of their hand make our every case,

we do for them, what ever we do,

it is for them, what ever we achieve,

because they give us aspiration in life,

because they give us reason to live.
