The joy of living
Dr. Nunglekpam Premi Devi *
Free living is priceless, culture it living;
Happy living is costless, see through it;
Bribing an enemy , discomfort us;
'Truth' an activity , an action of will conquer;
The moment treasured is the 'moment of trust';
'Seeding' is a key to success, sow wisely;
'Plant love', and let it grow wildly;
'Crop it lively' when timely scatter;
'Something's truth and small' always stand tall;
'Seeing believes' and 'believing is true practical',
'Distancing' is key to betterment living;
Oh! Experiencing is the best teacher ever , worth living;
As I live, living's all great and worth enough being loved by;
And the joy of living is 'simply a fancy joy forever';
The joy of living adores 'utmost smiles and laughter'.
'Save for a day' and 'saving for tomorrow' is a great healing;
'Choosing' is just for a day , living isn't an option;
'Do or die' an option activity, never repeat living it,
'Feeling' through is a great emotional value;
'Hatred' a curse, avoid watering those,
Try seeing concrete and not void invalid;
Ah! Repetition a worst habit, neglect lies;
'Worrying' is killing mirror, never flash upon,
'Sadness' a disease, avoid contacting those;
'Excitement' a stepping stone, stops falling down step;
Adoring, how happy when she giggles?
As I saw, living's perfection and 'she' just wonderful;
'Pretty' and the joy of living is 'simply a fancy joy forever';
The joy of living adores 'utmost smiles and laughter'.
'Kindness' is secret approach, go for it;
'Loving' is imparting, bestow upon humane;
'Cleaning' is beautiful, go save for hours;
'Respecting' isn't annoying, brave for that,
Holding upon isn't a crime, and unity is strength;
Oh! The loneliness, isn't a family matter,
Stronger the better, weaker a contagious disease,
'Wiser' Eye for an eye, avoid stepping back;
'Deeper the truth' is all in the strength eyes;
'Bonding' a best partnership, build those;
'Corrupting' a loser mannerism, avoid blaming;
'Quietness' a warm peace, condition those,
How modestly fashioning? Seeing 'her' adoring 'purity'
Acceptability! 'Her' quality grandeur, sporting 'enaphi';
As I speak, 'she's happily aware, echoing emotions;
'Eagerly' her affection; 'earnest' her religion;
As 'she' sat by selling for a day, 'Majestic'
And the joy of living is 'simply a fancy joy forever',
The joy of living adores 'utmost smiles and laughter'
