The Lost Child

Things that slowly start killing the land of living,

The lake full of zeal and the hills high of hopes to be someone thriving.

Where has he landed now?

With the passing of every moment the innocent child gets even farther away,

Leaving his grown us self in darkness too difficult to sway.

Across the river of joyfulness past the mountains of sunlike liveliness,

He went on and on without even stoping for once and had something called happiness.

But as it is said nothing lasts forever and time has to pass by,

To his surprise he was left all alone as he took a deep sigh.

Moments of pain and severity lingered around his mind full of fears,

He even waited to have them all out but was reciprocated only with tears.

He lost all the hopes of being able to cross-paths with the little wanderer ever again and sensed jerks,

He somewhere realised how life full of melancholy yet beautiful works

Nothing here is going to last like the evermore glory of the rain,

But we\'ll have the memories to cherish for the rest of our lives again.

We need to value every moment as if it\'s the end,

Continuing ahead without longing for something that\'s already gone makes our life an invaluable present.

Fainter it gets, once you\'re to close your eyes at the end of your heartfelt sunset,

Make sure to conclude it all with a smile that will have no regrets.
