Have Faith My Friend, for the Best is Yet to Come
Brooding over my desperate life,
Everything I see seems falling apart
Craving for some reasons to smile..
I tried watching closely at things nearby.
First, I saw a withering seed
I wondered why it's still contend to live..
Suddenly, I heard a whispering sound..
"Have faith my friend, for the best is yet to come.."
Looking above a lifeless tree
What a helpless plight I see!
I said, " Oh! Pity tree! You've no chance of living a better life just like me!"
Again, I heard another sound;
"Have faith my friend for the best is yet to come."
At last! A poor and ugly caterpillar came..
I wondered if it thinks just the same..
Perhaps it's been tired of crawling
Still, never have gone far beyond..
And it's ready to die among plants in this drying land..
I tried talking to this poor lil' thing..
Just as I did to everything I've seen
But again, I heard the same soothing sound;
"Have faith my friend, for the best is yet to come.."
For several times I just couldn't agree
I wondered so much, what they meant to say..
I tried to visit them again one day..
Something really worse must've happened,
I expected to see..
I no longer see the withering seed..
But a tiny sprouting leaves, instead!
Looking up above, a once dying tree,
Green new leaves, I was startled to see!
Then I heard a heavenly, wonderful sound
From a little butterfly flying around
Looking down at me, saying so proud;
"Have faith my friend for YOUR best is yet
to come..."
When stormy nights of LIFE have come
And beautiful things in it have gone..
The circle of life has just begun..
I FRET NO MORE, for I knew...MY BEST is yet to come..
