Life can often be tough, <br />Our paths can often be paved <br />With large obstacles. <br /> <br />But have you ever woken up, <br />Early in the morning <br />To watch the beauty of the rising sun? <br /> <br />Have you ever come out <br />In the evening <br />To watch the beauty of the setting sun? <br /> <br />Have you ever come out <br />In the rain <br />And felt the joy of the cool drops on your tired, exhausted body? <br /> <br />For that is the romance in living. <br />The quintessence of life. <br /> <br />Ignoring in our way the large stones, <br />Waking up early in the morning <br />To bask in the glory of the rising sun, <br />Coming out in the evening <br />To bask in the glory of the setting sun, <br />Coming out in the rain, closing your eyes <br />And feeling the joy of the cool drops on your tired, exhausted body…<br /><br />Jasbir Chatterjee<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/romance-in-living/
