Adversity

I shed a lot of silent tears last night Tensed greatly I was at my ill-starred plight My vigor was deteriorating My exuberance diminishing Life sucked out of my soul I was dearly wishing So many obstacles, so many hurdles in my path to success So many stones to trip over, fall, and get unwell I lay down weary on the earth so hard Like a crumpled piece of paper; I could go no farthe I wailed and moaned as my heart sank deep Dreaded what in future I would possibly reap When I was sowing weak seeds, I couldn’t possibly expect To reap a bright future which stretched out far ahead But what could I do; I was simply helpless When my vigor was declining, I had to rest In a state of deep depression I managed to get some sleep Woke up I the next morning with a firm decision reached Instead of grieving and wailing all the time “ I can’t do it !” I’ll focus more on fighting adversity the way it is Instead of pressure of work, depression drains a person more These things are experienced, I can tell you for sure Instead of wasting energy in hollering and complaining It’s better to utilize it for productive earning In chalking out plans how to cope with obstacles Deem over them and carry them out practical Be consistent in your endeavors to fight back adversity Lose heart if you will , it will eat you without pity Keep your hopes high and your faith strong Stick to the unchallenging right and evade the wrong Work to the optimum and hope for the best Whatever you cannot do, to God leave the rest Pay heed to my advice and follow my words They are surely going to help you, at present or afterwards To lose the war with adversity is to never start it for the fear of losing it To win the war with adversity is not only to defeat it but also die fighting it
