 If the small and inconspicuously tiny ant; could foment the mammoth elephant to collapse on the ground, 

Then tell me what reason had you to be afraid of life and lag behind? 
 
If the dainty and fragile wave had the power all by itself to gradually culminate into the entire and colossal ocean, 
Then tell me what reason had you to be afraid of life and lag behind? 
 
If the minuscule spider could spin its web again at thunderbolt speeds; even after it was viciously destroyed infinite number of times, 
Then tell me what reason had you to be afraid of life and lag behind? 
 
If the man who was completely blind; bereft of indispensable centers of sight; could browse through boundless lines of Braille in a single day, 
Then tell me what reason had you to be afraid of life and lag behind? 
 
If the frigid looking and slimy worm could build a mountain of mud; within just a matter of few hours; dexterously carrying small pints of sand on its back, 
Then tell me what reason had you to be afraid of life and lag behind? 
 
If the newly born infant could win over a million hearts; without even uttering a word; just by the virtue of its innocuous smile, 
Then tell me what reason had you to be afraid of life and lag behind? 
 
If the single and infinitesimal flame of candle could illuminate the entire cover of ghastly darkness; as it burnt waveringly inside the solitary hut, 
Then tell me what reason had you to be afraid of life and lag behind? 
 
If the child horrendously orphaned since birth; could become the Prime Minister of his country one fine day, 
Then tell me what reason had you to be afraid of life and lag behind? 
 
If the profoundly lazy and potbellied tortoise; could win the race even when competing with the whirlwind speed rabbit, 
Then tell me what reason had you to be afraid of life and lag behind? 
 
If the miserably stone deaf beggar; could sing melodious songs of enchanting music; being oblivious to the most faintest trace of sound since his very birth, 
Then tell me what reason had you to be afraid of life and lag behind? 
 
And If the person even after being dead for infinite years; be immortally present everywhere through the spirit of his benevolent deeds, 
Then tell me what reason had you to be afraid of life and lag behind?
