One Life, One Chance

A gentle moment between a child and a bird — reminding us that life offers no second chances, only quiet choices.

By Moto KhanPublished 6 months ago 1 min read

In silent robes and quiet grace,
A child with peace upon his face,
No noise, no race, no worldly game,
Just stillness whispering his name.

A bird so small, in hand it lay,
A fragile breath of sky and day,
It did not fear, nor try to flee,
For love spoke more than eyes could see.

No riches held, no grand parade,
Just soft exchange where trust is made.
A fleeting life, yet full of light,
In simple moments, hearts take flight.

No second round, no reset key,
This life is all there’ll ever be.
So hold it close and choose it wise—
The truth is found in silent eyes.

One life, one chance — and oh, how deep,
The seeds of kindness we must keep. 🌱
