I don’t know how to act, I don’t know what to say
The strength I had is falling low, darkness shrouds my day
Heart is at constant war with mind, and nothing seems right
Have to do what I don’t want to do, how to set this amiss right
I ask myself a thousand times, where & what went wrong
No answer – I get to hear, only a deafening silence throngs
I look up to HIM, to ask him the same, and HE mystically smiles
Will everything be alright soon? To hear, I pause a while
HE replies…
“Have faith and just do your bit, with a clear heart & intention
As far as you don’t hurt anyone, help as much, and don’t cause tension
I’ll lead you to where you should be, grant the happiness that you seek
So carry on, just do what is right, and don’t let yourself fall weak
There won’t always be smooth sailing, there will be thorns that’ll prick
There will be days when you’ll doubt ME, your faith in ME will flick
Those will be testing times my child, when you should hold really strong
Each difficulty is an opportunity, in adversity – don’t go wrong
‘Coz these troubled waters will make you reach, where you wanna be
After the stress I promise you, you’ll revel in serenity”
HIS words fill me with renewed strength, I feel energised
I tread on with strong foothold, to do as been advised
Will work tirelessly till I achieve, what I’ve been given to do
Smiling through these tests, to turn a page anew!
