                                                      Faith *

                              Many a time I have been grieved by fate
                                 When my health took a severe blow,
                                When all hopes away seemed to fade,
                                    When my spirits dropped to a low, 
                                    When fears besieged my inner self
                                         And I lost belief in myself.

                           Many a time I`ve been hurled down a ditch
                                    Whence coming out was a feat,
                               When to survive, my life I had to switch,
                                   When to be alive, my heartbeats
                                   I had to bridle, my tears to wipe
                                 And my saddening sorrows to swipe.

                              Many a time I`ve been stabbed in the back,
                                        But silently I bore the pains, 
                                    Shelving them secretly in a sack,
                               Not allowing them to make my life vain,
                                     But entrusting them to the Lord
                                  For Him to preserve them on board.

                                  All through the thick and thin of life
                                      I placed entire faith in the Lord,
                                  My trust in Him has ever been alive
                                  And that has guided me on the road
                                      To pursue my unflinching goal
                                      To connect with my inner soul.

                           Faith is, indeed, the basement that sustains
                                       Human will and determination,
                              It lifts man from failures and retains
                                         His desires and his volition
                                   With the wings of trust to fly up high
                                       And attain the peak of the sky.

                                 Real faith in the Supreme Lord
                               Brightens the life of a man on dark days
                                      Allows him his vessel to board
                                   Drive his ship on the rightful way
                                       And reach his final destiny 
                                        At the stiff end of his journey.
