Should I feel sad or happy?

Sad that I am getting older daily

Happy that I still don’t look that old actually

Whether we are young or elderly

We should always think young internally

Time and tide wait for no man you see

There’s nothing we can do about it even we are angry

Only to age gracefully

Think and behave maturely

Sometimes behave like a child who’s adorable though naughty

Children unlike adults full of worries

Stress from work and also family

Life is short already

Why live in misery

Enjoy ourselves and be happy

Don’t think too much which is unhealthy

There are some advice I read from books which are full of meaning  :

“Past is past already

the future will take care of itself naturally”

Just live the moment fruitfully

Also do random kind of kindness daily

Your reward is not in terms of money

But a peaceful life with no misery

Everyone beside you will feel the harmony

As you have given them the blessing indirectly

By just be yourself naturally

    Fab message star!I loved the ending brought it all together wonderfully! So true why worry when life is much to short!Also as for the ending our own moods really do reflect on other people and we can either cast a shadow on them or light! Good stuff,very thought provoking!

    I really loved your poem. You gave us a great message and I think we should all try to be happy instead of being miserable especially over things that can’t be changed.

    We should take examples from people who can look happy always.
