Life is precious, that I learnt,
A short-term gift from God, to enjoy earth,
In a brand new body, our soul dwell,
A short mystic circle of birth and death spell,
Intriguing journey it is, that began.
When I'm low and feeling helpless,
Selfish brutal world, makes me depressed; hopeless,
On the verge of giving up, I realize,
Life is precious.
We all come to this world for a reason,
Not weak, to be strong is our lesson,
The hurdles we face are only tests of endurance,
Striving on the survival path with our patience,
At the end, its all a just temporary game to cherish,
Life is precious.

The traditional 15-line rondeau in three stanzas based on 2 rhymes and a rentrement or refrain with the scheme R-aabba aabR aabbaR. Typically, the rentrement forms the opening part of the first line of the poem; it can be as short as one word, but is more usually a complete clause or phrase.
Such an uplifting piece:)

ReplyDeletethanks for reading..glad you liked it :-)
DeleteLife is indeed precious. You've taken a few liberties with the rondeau form; your rhyme scheme is more flexible than the 'rules' strictly allow - only two rhymes across the whole poem - and your meter is quite variable, but this is a successful poem nonetheless.
