Be careful as you tread on the sands of time,

As you leave your indelible footprints behind.

Be cautious of what your words and actions say,

As you do impact lives, in some or the other way.

You are but one speck in the sea of humanity,

That is reeling under sheer insecurity and vanity.

You’re caught in a vicious circle of action and reaction,

Hence you need to ever guard your communication.

Why constantly prove yourself right, right from birth?

Can you not be content in knowing your own self worth?

Spend more time introspecting than portraying yourself,

Ever strive to retain your identity and never lose oneself.

Savour each and every moment and slow down your pace.

Life is meant to be cherished and you are not in any race!

Do not always for your gains, try to please and appease,

What is meant to be, will definitely come to you with ease.

So make the most of the life you have been blessed with,

It is a wonderful opportunity  you have been graced with

So be careful as you tread on the sands of time,

As you often leave your indelible footprints behind.
