SEARCHING SOMETHING! -(Reposting)

Animation by: Attia

Once I met an infant,

Who was searching for something,

I asked, “What are you searching, my dear?”

The answer was, “I lost my message, and I am searching for it”.

Once I met a child,

Who was searching for something,

I asked, “What are you searching, little champ?”

The answer was, “I lost my infancy, and I am searching for it”.

Once I met a teenager,

Who was searching for something too,

I asked, “What are you searching, my dear?”

The answer was, “I lost my childhood, and I am searching for it”.

Once I met a youngster,

Who was searching for something too,

I asked, “What are you searching, buddy?”

The answer was, “I lost my teenage, and I am searching for it”.

Once I met a mid-ager,

Who was searching for something too,

I asked, “What are you searching, sir?”

The answer was, “I lost my young age, and I am searching for it”.

Once I met an old ager,

Who was searching for something too,

I asked, “What are you searching, my dear sir?”

The answer was, “I lost my golden days, and I am searching for it”.

I just sat down

Thoughts covered all around

Me, too, searching for something

How to get rid of regrets man facing

My heart then inclined

And texted my mind

Do live life with great pleasure

Or regrets would create pressure!
