Lamp of Hope

When the surroundings are dark
carry the torch of hope with you

It may not change your destiny
but brightens up the pathway
by bestowing positivism

Moment we are hopeful,
we smile and feel inner strength
Same journey no longer tires

Mind becomes weightless
An uncluttered mind thinks better
Many bright avenues open up

Our problems cease
