Song of Life

by Mallika Sahai - L.A. Matheson Secondary, Surrey BC May 31, 2010

Just slow down, enjoy life
Enjoy the day, enjoy the night.

Enjoy the scent of flowers,
Savour the rain,
Enjoy the very essence of your soul.

Enjoy each motion of dance,
Each rhythm of song,
Enjoy each pace of your walk.

This is the only life,
Slow down, live it king-like.

Enjoy every part of the dream,
Face every reality,
Enjoy every smile, bear every cry.

Enjoy the melting chocolate,
The sour, tangy tamarind,
Enjoy each flavour of life.

Don’t rush, slowdown,
Sing the song of life.
