Shortness of Life | Anita Kongari

When I introspect, I realise that life is short.

I jump up from sleep and peep within to meet the one who loves me eternally.

Both of us whisper words of love.

It fills my heart to the brim to live another day joyously.

Shortness of life makes me realise to live this day meaningfully.

I forgive the one who hurt me.

I appreciate the goodness in the other and speak words of kindness.

Shortness of life makes me take the road less travelled and leave a legacy of my own.

Someone will find me hidden in the pages of the book and will know that I lived to inspire in some way.
