The Tides of Life

Narayani Krishna Ivaturi, Class 6, Birla Open Minds International School, Kollur, Hyderabad

Streaming down like a slip of fabric,
its soft flow caressing the rocks, is the river that mirrors your life.
If you dare to dream,
water your strength while waiting for a chance—for life gives but one.
And you will reflect the light of the sun at morn,
and shine like stars at twilight,
dancing along the emerald ripples to eternal happiness.
Neither a beginning nor an end, though life is only once,
don’t break the flow—go with it.
If it stops once, you go astray.
Things can’t always go your way; it’s better to adapt,
from fallen leaves to a snowy paradise, with a glistening sun along the way.
If you dare to dream—dream on,
like the eager river does, to join an endless ocean that holds untold treasures within.
So rise and look a little closer and you will see what life has to offer.
