Grumbling???

Let life take its stride...
Grumbling???
Never ending is the flow of difficulties.
There is incessant incoming of problems.
From all corners are only challenges.
There isn’t a hope of escape.
In visibility is not seen a gate.
Why am I grumbling?
This is called life and living!

Health poses several hazards.
Wealth does not spare either.
Family is another cellar.
It has its own unsolved stocks and stories.
Where to begin and where to end?
Why am I grumbling?
This is called life and living!

Pillars of my life are very strong.
For how long… is my fear.
Fear has always been my worst enemy.
It is the killer of my confidence.
I must gather courage to fight this fear; I will gear up…
Then, why am I grumbling?
This is called life and living!

My life is filled with love.
My family is my support and strength.
I am strong and stable to face any adversary.
Soon, I will be celebrating my ‘golden’ anniversary.
Those fifty years full of affection and adoration!
Then, why am I grumbling?
This is called life and living!
