A nudge from life

Here I was taking life as it comes,
Learning to calm and quiet myself
I was almost feeling like a person
When I was given a little nudge by life

I sat up and took notice of it
Looked around and told myself
Its okay and that I will be fine
Even if I am given a little nudge by life

I took control of my thoughts,
Gave a good hard stare to the events
Told them they cannot scare me
Told myself, so what if life gives me a little nudge

I made the best of the situation
I did the best under the circumstances
I learnt the strength of my family
When I was given a little nudge by life

It also taught me that I can manage
That i can look after myself
That others are capable of looking after themselves
When they are given a little nudge by life

And so I learnt that there will be in life
some little nudges and some large nudges
The way to go is to go on with life
When it gives you a little nudge
