... and then there was light!
‘Twas such a beautiful day,
And I was right on my way,
Choosing the path that my heart prescribed,
Not reading the rules on the stones described
The journey seemed so beautiful, so gracious so fine,
Soon everything I ever wanted would be mine,
Only with happiness I’d dine,
There couldn’t come a day, when I’d have to whine.
Before the thought even crossed my head,
Rocky and thorny I found the road I tread,
The clouds did cover my head, cutting from me the sweet shine,
The train of my life did enter a tunnel, “the darkness” was all mine.
Tattered and shattered, I walked a mile,
But I decided not to lose my very last smile.
Life seemed to offer sorrows in a pile,
But the walk and the smile, I kept for a while.
And then there was a light…
It turned to such a beautiful day,
As I continued on my way,
Choosing the path my heart described,
By the same carefree heart but with care subscribed,
The journey became so fruitful, so obvious, so mine,
I know what I’ve been through is all that is mine,
Even with catasrophe, now, I could dine,
So there wouldn’t come a day, when I’d ever whine.
If the smile was not, what I had kept,
Had I stopped, complained and wept,
There would still be clouds and not the sweet shine,
The train would have stopped and “the darkness” would still have been mine,
Now all my life, mile by mile,
I’ll keep walking wearing my smile
Even if life offers me sorrows in a pile,
I’ll accept it for that while.
‘Coz then there will be light…
