                                         Architect of Our Destiny

                               As we tread along the journey of life
                           All may not turn round as we may expect,
                             It may be a long lane littered with strife,
                          A rugged road ranged with thorns, in effect 
                        Where we need to strive and strive to survive.

                           We don’t need to give way to dull despair
                                But try to be master of our own fate,
                         We don`t need to yield to the ghost of scare
                          But roll up our sleeves to free success gate
                                   And be architect of our destiny
                                With the shine of sincere serenity.

"With the shine of sincere serenity." Thank you for giving hope which precedes faith. I often choose to see the glass half full. And we can participate in our unfolding. Bravo!
