01202010 - ... now it makes sense!
This was a poem i wrote when i was in college. It makes perfect sense now.. Thought of posting it :)
I call it - A Ray Of HOPE
Distant voices tell me, that i should carry on
I still wonder - am i floating on the ocean all alone?
They say you never leave people who trust you,
But i am perplexed, tell me, is it true?
I have traveled long and now i am tired
Thinking about the countless days that i have alone cried
I still seek that comfort that you once promised me
I am waiting, waiting, and still wait for that something special from thee
A tear of helplessness sneaks out of my eye
When i see people who need me - need me dire
And i cannot do anything about it
A tear of sadness rushes out of my eye
When i see a hungry baby cry
And i cannot do anything about it
A tear of ruth comes out of my eye
When i see ignorant people searching for a truth in a lie
And i cant do anything about it
Soo much have i seen in life, i ask
I ask, is this how you reward the people who care about you?
And then the voice said - its hard to be a heart broken
But you cannot gain something unless you lose some
For in desperation I teach you to be Humble
For in hunger I teach you to be Patient
For in ignorance I teach you TO Forget AND Forgive
Everything that is done by me has a meaning
And it is you who should always be seeking
LIFE is not something that has been given to end
Call for me and i shall come to you as your friend
Though you are weak, though you are sad
Never lose the hope you have always had
For every day, every time you seek me
I shall always be there for you
Surrender thyself at my feet
And then see what I have for you as a treat
Knowing all i look back
And sometimes wonder was i on the right track?
I think i understand its meaning,
Life is all about how you can be useful to others
And not the the other way round
For its only in giving that you can take
And its only in happiness that you can forget the sorrows
And its only in divinity that you can become one with the divine
And with this union, it is you who can be
A RAY OF HOPE FOR ALL.
