Faith
You are what you wanted,
You are what you dreamed,
And if you’re not, just hold on,
Though forever it could seem.
Don’t be uncertain of your distant goals,
Nor be too sure of yourself,
Just work hard, have faith in what you feel,
And simply believe in yourself.
Don’t stop smiling if you had to shed tears,
Don’t stop dreaming if a nightmare came true,
Don’t change your ideas or change your
views,
Because then you would no longer be you.
It’s not how many times you fall,
It’s the grace with which you come up again,
It’s not the happiness you get which matters,
It’s the beauty with which you suffer the pain.
Don’t measure the narrowness of the road,
Measure the road to be walked,
Look how far you have to go,
Not how far you have walked.
Resolve to rise and forget to fall,
Prepare yourself to hold on,
Don’t look back at the battles lost,
Realise that you need to go on.
It would be then you realise that you’re what you wanted,
And you’ll come to know you’re what you
dreamed,
Because your faith helped you to hold on,
And so forever it never seemed.
