A Little

A little bit of peace and a little violence,
A little noise and a little silence.
A little crowd and a little solidarity,
Is what we call a life of quality…

A little loss and a little gain,
Little achievements but bigger vain.
A little deeper in loans and rates,
But none I blame to handwritten fates.

Comfort of home or working in pain,
Both are needed like sun and rain.
Your life is a crop you cultivate,
Search your own way, don't imitate.

Life is a little ease with a little trouble,
Happiness is like a soap bubble.
Visible until you don’t touch,
But when in contact, it lasts not too much…
