The Cloud

One day, walking by the sidewalk,
With my friend, by my side,
I saw something dark above me,
Though out of curiosity I asked her,
"What is that up there, clouding us with darkness?"
She stared at it for long,
After a minute, she looked at me
With a satisfactory smile, she calmly stated,
"This is what we are all afraid of.."
Gazing at her in confusion
I wanted to know what she wanna say,
As she continued," This is a cloud of responsibility, a cloud of sadness
from which the humanity always wanted to run away.
Not knowing where they are going,
Not understanding, that this cloud
On its own will not fly away ."
After listening her words,
I came to know, that this is not just an answer to a question,
That this is not just a simple conversation,
This is a life lesson,
Which everyone's need to know,
As without sadness, we can't bring happiness,
As without hard work, we cannot bring success,
It's a road, which everyone have to pass one day,
A barren wear, which everyone have to cross one day
To lead, themselves to a bright future,
As without any bruise,
Nothing long last
As, at last, it all ends one day.
