Row your boat

A friend I met today told me to remember always a poem written by Milton Bradley that I learnt in kindergarten…

Row Row Row your boat
Gently down the stream
Merrily Merrily Merrily Merrily
For life is but a dream

As a kid, did we ever stop to think what the rhyme meant?? Wasn’t it just a rhyme that u and I would recite in our classes?? But thinking about it today, it struck me that this simple four-liner means so much, and that in fact, it is a lesson in life… It indeed is a beautiful comparison of our life and that of a boat in a stream. Row ur boat gently down the stream… Be in control of what you are doing and guide yourself gently down the stream of life. Take life as it comes, listen to your intuition and don’t be hard on yourself. Be merry. Take it easy, be happy and enjoy every moment of the journey. After all, life is but a dream. :o) :o)
