Life is a river that flows
Love is the boat on which you board
Select a boat which does not sink
Or capsize in a torrent of wind
Flow may be rough or smooth
Strength of the boat makes you dare
Take on board only people who care
Clean your boat to make it fair
Keep it safe from wear and tear
Paint afresh with time to spare
Let it sparkle in the light of love
Enjoy your life with every ripple
Twist and turns drive you mad
Calamities can make you sad
Friends and family keep you sane
So select your boat with love and care
Remember it’s your life’s journey ahead
