Life, or Strife…?

Not one who is not in pain in this life

Not one who is free from some major strife

As I meet people, such pain I see

Is this how You wanted Your world to be?

Fake smiles, each fighting gross pain

All the advices just go in vain

Tears and sobs and compromise

Before age we need to act wise

It hurts me immense and I want to help

It breaks my heart to hear them yelp

I want to give them the balm they seek

Atleast give strength to those who’re weak

But nothing soothes the pain which kills

Nothing which really helps to fill

The void – which’s so deep and bare

I just sit with You to say a prayer…

Finding our way in this maze You’ve made

Listening to Your voice which sometimes fades

Steering along the stumbling blocks

We’re trying to reach our destination rock

Just keep us on the path which is right

Don’t let us fall, just hold us tight

None who can soothe, none who can guide

None who can help us cross this trench so wide

Don’t leave our hand while we try to walk

Just be there when we want to talk

Give us the strength to bear this strife

Let us have a happy life…!
