Just Keep Always Your Hopes Alive
Just keep always your Hopes alive
What ever may be the density of darkness?
Only a candle can create light.
What ever rough and tough may be the path,
You are walking or you have to follow,
Even without a lamp or Light,
Or a companion near or anywhere insight,
And you are walking on your way, Alone,
All alone, without anyone,
To support, to strengthen and
To console you in your plight,
When you are in despair and too sad,
And may be you are too old to bear,
The burden of your body and your heart,
And tears are rolling from your eyes,
And no one to ask,
why you are weeping and why are you sad?
And no one to care,
If you are tired and even bleeding,
While crossing the sands of time,
When still you have to cross,
Rivers, Plains and many ups and down of Life.
If such is the density of darkness,
All around you in your life?
Keep only the torch of Hopes,
Always alive.
Remember, you may not see that light,
If you want to feel it from open eyes,
But you will be illuminated very soon,
Some where deep inside,
Have trust
God will fill your soul,
With the eternal Joy and Happiness,
Spreading your own light,
All around you and
Removing all the darkness of your Life,
And the darkness of your Path.
You may not know how it happens?
But it happens always,
When you keep your Hopes alive,
Amid the darkness of Life.
What ever may be the density of darkness?
Just keep always your Hopes alive.
