Life isn’t a hundred-meters’ dash but ’tis <br />Rather a marathon of unknown length; <br />Life isn’t a matter of material bliss, <br />But of hard-work, will-power and mind’s strength. <br /> <br />Life isn’t a fifty-meters hurdles but <br />Rather a decathlon, grueling style; <br />Life isn’t a matter of a fine hair-cut, <br />But of struggles and protracted a smile. <br /> <br />Life isn’t a weight-lifting championship, <br />But tests one’s stamina in every way; <br />Life isn’t a war of nerves but of friendship, <br />Of morals, goodness, ethics every day. <br /> <br />Life isn’t a rocket to glory, stardom, <br />But a sustained access to God’s kingdom!<br /><br />Dr John Celes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sonnet-what-s-life/
