Dear Zindagi,
Don’t be hard.
Please let people be at peace with what they have.
Dear Zindagi, please don’t make me selfish.
Dear Zindagi, don’t be cruel to my sons.
Dear Zindagi, let my sons be the best thing to ever happen to me,
Dear Zindagi, when you become hard, please make time for my sons to be well.
Dear Zindagi,
I don’t have a lot to ask,
All I want is to be happy with what I have and wait for what I was destined to be.
Dear Zindagi,
Can you please show me how that will lead to places I have never been to?
Dear Zindagi,
Please give peace to the man I love so he will always be happy.
Dear Zindagi, don’t be harsh on him,
He is a good person with a heart of gold.
Dear Zindagi,
When I reach a time of no return, please let the people I love experience the joy I felt whenever I was with them,
Dear Zindagi, I write this poem while I have tears in my eyes,
I hope it will not be the same for the person who is going to read it someday.
Dear Zindagi,
Please let me know whenever I run out of energy and motivation so I can rise again.
Dear Zindagi,
I hope my children will have even half of the stamina I and their father have so that they can survive in this world.
Dear Zindagi,
Please be good to our world; don’t punish us because of the pollution we produce.
Please let the world be at peace,
We will fix what leads to climate change so our children will live in a world with no risk to their health.
Dear Zindagi, please have mercy on us.
Dear Zindagi, we will fix our way of life so we can save the Mother Earth,
This is not just for you but for all of us.
So, Dear Zindagi, please save us!
