Hey Life!
I know not what you are,
A renowned Noun,
A vivacious Verb, or
An instant exclamation!
An all-weather friend,
A total stranger,
Or a keen onlooker,
With mixed gestures?
Little do I remember,
When had we met first,
Nor do I have any guess,
How long we'll stay together.
But sure, I feel around,
Your unfaltering presence,
Through all sorts of weathers
Favourable or otherwise.

It's also true that someday,
-We'll have to part ways,
As actors silently disappearing,
Having played their roles on the stage.
Long we have been together
Sharing the same time frame,
It would, indeed, feel painful,
To be ripped apart unawares.
Yet, we may have no choice,
But abide by Destiny's rules,
And bid adieu to each other,
With tears covered by smiles.
Here is my earnest wish,
You may take it as a request,
To give me a hint beforehand,
When it's time to wind up.
So I could prepare myself,
To take leave of everyone,
With gestures of deep gratitude,
For all their love and affection.
