TIME TO PONDER

Currently it's that time of the year again,

Where most of us are trying to ascertain,

What we have achieved in the year that passed by,

And how to implement things, that would give our careers a high.

Its definitely a good time to ponder,
Before our minds begin to wander,
And try to plan and put things in place,
Before we end up making the new year a waste.

Meaning of life becomes clear when it's planned,

Some setbacks on the way should just be a motivation to understand,

That life is something similar to holding sand in our hand,

Which when held tightly is lost completely without our command.

Some of us would find different ways in getting solutions,
While some of us would go to the extent of making resolutions,
It's only the inner resolve that matters in the end,
Without which one can end up with only amends.
