And Life Goes On

15th Oct 2020 by Bubbles Kandhari

Life is for the living

The dead are buried and gone

Pine and cry for them we may

But life goes on and on...

Cold and callous it feels today

But such is a fact of life

No one dies with the dead they say

Yet life goes on and on...

Cruel it may seem for the heart

Harsh it may sound to the ears

That dear ones mourn and condole a while

Then life goes on and on...

A part of us dies with a dear one’s death

We then feel it is a transitory world

We realize the futility of all around

But the wheel of life moves along

So life goes on and on...

There is no time to even grieve

For the loved ones today

To make both ends meet for some

Is the harsh reality of the day

And so life must go on and on...

To complete the dear ones dreams and wishes

Get back into the grind we must

There is no luxury to sit back and cry

For life has to go on and on...

Eventuality of everything we do come to realize

With the sudden shock of bereavement

Momentarily we even tend to philosophize

But soon life goes on and on...

Pain remains in our hearts for sure

Turning into fond memories through

The passage of time a love so pure

Soon we immerse into our daily chores and duties

And life goes on and on...
