The package labelled “life”
The navy night sky offers a bit of comfort
 The shining stars glitter their condolences
 The moon beams down its rays to show you that even in darkness, there is light
 
 I know your tears are laden with hurt
 From the harshness of reality
 But,
 I know you can see the good
 Through your blurry vision
 
 Smiles of a stranger
 Laughter of a child
 Hugs of a friend
 Whispers of a confidante
 Kisses of a lover
 
 They form the barrier between you and the world
 They protect you from the scorching sun and the whirlwind storms
 They keep you sane enough to realise
 That you’re not in this alone
 
 Let us help you, my dear
 We’ve all been given a package labelled “life”
 What’s inside- a gift or a curse?
 Well, sweetheart, that’s for you to decide.
