I opened my eyes as I got up today,

I saw the mountains and the coconut trees,

I saw the sunflowers and the stream of honeybees,  

I saw the fog and the mist,

The rain drops and Sunshine,

Suddenly the rainbow formed amidst,

The flying birds and the clouds,

Making me wonder and peep and peep, 

And Alas,

As I peeped into the window,

A thought I forgot!

Who am I and where was I?

I was a traveler in the train,

Journeying through the wilderness,

Enjoying the Beauty of natures GAIN!

Oh! How beautiful art thee?

Nature, you are completely free,

To be what you ought to be,

Enjoying the music of the Honeybee!

Unlike mankind locked up in WORRY!

Regretting life and feeling so Sorry!

Not enjoying the coziness in natures Beauty

Chasing money as if its your Duty!

Loosing out the pleasures of life

A lengthy journey of just struggle and Strife!

Oh, Alas, who am I and where am I?

I am a traveler in life, forgetting to LIVE,

Gaining in misery, money, and money,

Momentary was the music of the honeybee,

Nature’s beauty and nectar, where art thee?

Help me live a fulfilled Life,

Love myself for what I am,

Make, collect and distribute the nectar,

Of the honeybee, curing, healing, and caring,

While I pass through this wilderness,

My I do not forget the Beauty of my being born Free,

To explore and trust and live in Happiness!
