TODAY -
The cadence of life
Tourangbam Jenifer *
I'm amid the untold devoir and duty of life.
Yet I embrace it unconditionally .
Still , I blossom over green and prickly thorns.
Countless dreams I have dreamt.
Without a break like a wild fire.
Battling back and forth
To grow and prosper,
Behold a dreamy endurance
Akin to a dull knife.
Above all , to reconcile in society
Enduring numerous battles and hardships .
No turning back; no packing up.
A man is live once; a man is born once
Like an armour worn in battlefield ,
Let determination, faith and hope
Guide the destiny of life.
As the dancer dances along the rhythm of the drum
Dhandhana ta dhan
Dhandhana ta dhan
I abide by playing along the cadence of life.
