Give Life Another Chance…

Sarala celebrates life, in the poem, exclusively for Different Truths.

Give life another chance
Don’t cry over the spilt milk
which is lost forever
Enjoy what’s left
Time is fleeting
Grab the moment
Enjoy the life
Life is short
Yesterday won’t come back
Now is the time
Just this moment
Enjoy every bit
Without guilt!
Wipe your tears
Don’t waste your
Precious pearls
Look forward
To a better tomorrow
Forget the past
Forget the spilt milk
Enjoy the half cup
Leftover
You will never regret
You live only once
Enjoy this very moment
Enjoy the half cup
Leftover
Before it’s spilt over!
