NEVER GIVE UP HOPE!

You all agree we have only one life here to live;

The appetite to eat, work hard and sleep at night!

Your mood goes up and down; swings side to side

The fear of death and common sense to win over!

 

Life is very hard; it's real struggle to work and gain;

You are happy at times, but nothing lasts forever!

We are on our heels for daily needs and comforts

Cost of living's high, how to make both ends meet?

 

Humanity is fine, its values worth to care and follow.

Man or woman, white or coloured, young or old folks

They are dirty and ugly or very good-looking fine guys!

Rich or poor, tall or short: leaning to any social traits?

 

Childhood, student life and a job to secure livelihood

You are grown up, bold and learnt many things needed.

We have hearts and souls, full of energy and own mind

Married; wife, kids and elderly parents to love and care.

 

We want food, shelter, good life and education for kids,

Prosperity, happy life and peace at home! Life goes on!

You forget pains, change the scenes and your mindset

Keeping calm or meditate for a while; you will be alright!

 

Health; physical or mental illness; minor or major ones

You must keep your body and mind in good condition

Work hard to earn money and save for the rainy days.

When distressed talk to close friends to feel relieved!

 

Care the poor and help all when they feel hopeless;

Money is root of all evils! Wealth, you gain or lose!

Calamities and famine strike often; poor people suffer,

Diseases, accidents, personal tragedy we are to face!!

 

Nothing is under our control; gain or loss  take it easy.

Birth and death; start and end of life is just our journey!

They are two sides of one coin, head or tail; no worry.

Loss or gain; darkness engulfed you wait for the light?

                     YOUR FUTURE IS BRIGHT!!
