PLANT

I was sown in the mud.

I grew up in the mud.

Once I came out of the mud

I was hit by fresh air.

It was a sign for me that I was alive.

I grew up among many plants some good plants and some others thorny.

I had to take care of myself.

When I turned into a tree, I faced many difficulties like: people cutting my branches for firewood, goats eating the leafs. But still I managed to stand.

It was time for me to bear fruits and I did, people ate my fruits and appreciated then but in return they also gave me a lot of pain by throwing stones at me.

Finally it was time, I was drying up and parts me were being used for making furniture and other parts were eaten up by the insects.

This is how I lived my life on earth.

HUMAN BEING

I grew up in the womb.

I came out of the womb with a loud cry.

My cry was a sign that I was alive.

I grew up among many people.

Some with smiling faces and also some with angry faces.

I was cared for and protected by may parents.

As a young man I had to take responsibility of life and there were many up and down. But I never gave up my goal.

As I grew up I did good things for which I was appreciated and other times insulted and disrespected.

Finally I became old and died.

Here was the time, on my birthday I cried and came into the world but many others cried when I left the world.

And this is how I lived my life on earth.

                        It was the same God who gave us life in different ways

                                                Be happy and enjoy your life.
