LIFE  

                      ''I hear this word all the time,

                           what it means, I wonder."

                       ''I went through all the history,

                    geography and other great books

                            but never got the answer.''

                  "They'd say it's emotional and touchy

                           but I did not understand"

             "In the library, I went through every content 

                                  of each book 

                         and kept on flipping the pages

                               one after the other

                             but none had the answer or 

                               would say it is spiritual"

                                "Once I saw a book

                               a rather fat and boring one.''

                         ''Some rate it out of each one's mind

                           But I wasn't discouraged and read.''

                                  ''The answer was here.''

                    ''I understood that obstacles or challenges,

                                  happiness or sadness

                             and failures or success make life.''

                            '' Everyone shook and laughed at me

                                     saying that I am emotional.''

                                   ''But I would reply if you think

                                            so then think ,

                                           but I know I'm right

                                                   don't you?''
