I love my life!

I don’t want to give up the ghost

And go to meet my maker in the heavens

I don’t want to take up the journey

To the eternal nothingness

I want to be in this world

That is too full of grief and umpteen pains

I want to sleep with my fellow beings

Who don’t have a roof under the sky

I love to play with the stray dogs

And feed the doves that greet me in the morn

I want to see smiles on the faces

To cheer up the children of lesser gods

I want to bask in the morning sun

And drench in the monsoon shower

I want to smell those fragrant flowers

And taste those sour and sweet gooseberries

I want to hang on in the lonely valleys

Listening to birds and humming on the streams

I want to delve deep in the wild

Watching the heirs of the wide, wide earth

I want to live and love the life

Live the life for the days infinite

I don’t want to give up the ghost

And go to meet my maker in the heavens
