God’s Grace: Life is Beautiful

In the Open Grass lands,
I like to roam away.
Just be calm and join your hands,
Let’s be nice and play.

Don’t be shy,
The sky’s high.
The birds that fly,
I wonder How high?

I know I’m the best,
I am happy on a fest.
The world is like a calm land,
I like to join my hand.

And pray to god nicely,
Do your work wisely,
Do what you do precisely.

Just enjoy life and live kindly!

Note from The Author – Kanav Sharma, 12, Raigarh

When I wrote my poem “God’s Grace; Life is Beautiful!”, I wanted to capture a feeling that many of us often forget in the rush of our daily lives the pure beauty of being alive. Sometimes, life feels so fast and busy that we don’t stop to notice the small things around us. My poem is an attempt to pause, reflect, and remind myself and others that there is beauty, calmness, and joy all around us, if only we choose to see it.

The poem begins with the image of open grasslands, a place where I imagine myself wandering freely, without worries or distractions. Grasslands represent openness and peace for me. In such a space, I can roam away from stress, responsibilities, or fear. Nature has a special power to calm the mind, and in that calmness, I imagine joining my hands in prayer, showing gratitude for all that I have. I think this is the first big idea of my poem: life becomes more beautiful when you take time to notice nature, stay calm, and give thanks.

I also talk about the sky and the birds flying high. The sky, to me, represents endless opportunities. It is so vast and open, with no clear limits. Watching birds soar through the sky makes me wonder about freedom, ambition, and dreams. The question “how high” they can fly is also about myself—how high can I go in life if I believe in myself and put in effort? This part of the poem is really about curiosity and ambition, reminding us that even though life should be lived calmly, it should also be lived with dreams and aspirations.

Another important idea in the poem is confidence. When I say, “I know I’m the best, I am happy on a fest,” it doesn’t mean I think I’m better than others it means I believe in myself. Life is a festival, full of color, activity, and celebration, and being happy in such moments means recognizing your own worth. To me, being confident and grateful are two sides of the same coin. If I trust myself and believe in my abilities, I will naturally be happier, and I will see life as more beautiful.

I also describe the world as a calm land. This line is about perspective. For some people, the world feels stressful, competitive, or even harsh. But if I choose to look at it with kindness and positivity, it can feel calm and welcoming. I think this is a big lesson that I wanted to express: how you see life depends on the mindset you carry. If you practice gratitude, calmness, and prayer, the world appears much more beautiful and peaceful.

Prayer is another central theme in the poem. When I say, “And pray to God nicely, do your work wisely, do what you do precisely,” I am talking about balance. Life isn’t only about praying, nor is it only about working it’s about doing both together in harmony. Prayer, for me, is not just about asking God for things; it’s about feeling connected to something greater, about pausing and being thankful. Work, on the other hand, is about responsibility doing what is expected of you with honesty and precision. When prayer and work go hand in hand, life becomes more meaningful.

Finally, I conclude the poem with the simple advice: “Just enjoy life and live kindly!” This is perhaps the most important line. No matter what we do, if we forget to be kind, we lose the true purpose of life. Kindness is what makes life beautiful not money, fame, or material things. Being kind to others, to nature, and to ourselves is how we can truly appreciate God’s grace.

If I reflect deeper on my poem, I realize it is really about three key ideas:

Gratitude and Prayer: Recognizing the beauty around us, being thankful for it, and staying spiritually grounded.

Confidence and Ambition: Believing in ourselves, dreaming high, and working wisely to achieve our goals.

Kindness and Perspective: Choosing to live kindly, seeing life as a blessing, and finding peace in simplicity.

These three ideas connect together to form the message: Life is God’s gift, and it becomes beautiful when we live it with gratitude, confidence, and kindness.

When I wrote this poem, I didn’t just want it to be read as a few rhyming lines. I wanted it to be felt. I wanted readers to picture themselves in those open grasslands, to look up at the sky, to feel the calmness of prayer, and to remind themselves that life doesn’t have to be rushed. It can be lived with joy, with dreams, and with love.

In my own life, I try to live by these ideas. For example, when I play chess, I remind myself to be calm, patient, and focused. When I dance, I feel joy and confidence. When I write, I feel gratitude for the gift of imagination. And when I spend time with my family or friends, I remember the importance of kindness. All these small things reflect the same philosophy that I put into this poem.

I also think poems like this are important for young people my age because we often get caught up in studies, competitions, or comparisons. We forget that life is not just about marks, medals, or achievements. It is also about smiling, enjoying, and appreciating the world. Of course, achievements are important (and I feel proud of mine), but they should never stop us from being grateful, kind, and humble.

In conclusion, “God’s Grace; Life is Beautiful!” is my way of saying thank you—for nature, for life, for confidence, and for kindness. It’s a reminder to myself and to everyone else that no matter what challenges come, life remains beautiful if we see it through the right lens. If we combine gratitude, wisdom, ambition, and kindness, then every day feels like a blessing. And in the end, isn’t that what we all want? To feel blessed, to feel alive, and to live a life that is both joyful and meaningful.
