How do you measure a life’s journey?
Is it from birth to final breath,
Or the moments that unfold in between?

Is it by the quality of life’s tapestry,
Woven with encounters, laughter, and tears?
Or is it measured by accumulated wealth, Success,
and prestige’s fleeting stealth?

Is it by the number of friends you’ve known,
Or the love shared with family, now grown?

Is it by goals achieved, education’s might,
Or a prestigious career’s shining light?

Or is it embracing life’s every delight,
Savouring each moment, pure and bright?
How do you measure a life’s journey?
