Life’s ups and downs

Author: Zeenat Hakimjee

As the mountaineer up the mountain ascends,

Traversing the path that he will have to descend.

At the sight, an ordinary man

Would have shuddered.

Up hills and pitfalls, All a part of life.

Whether it is easy going or only strife

Sometimes an obstacle comes in the way,

Sometimes it is smooth going all the way,

Life’s ups and downs add to its totality,

Lending to it an air of immortality
