Cry not child,
Even though the path is dark,
Morning is yet to come
Weep not,
For it's at the darkest hour,
That promises are fulfilled
Wisdom comes not in a nightfall,
But in days seen,
And things done
Count it all joy,
That you have seen the light of day,
And dark of night
It is he who burns the midnight candle,
That has much to eat,
When the day comes
See the good in all deeds,
Both good and bad,
For every man has each side
Turn your eye to those who build you
Both young and old,
They will help you
Forgive and forget,
Fill thine heart with thoughts,
Of goodness and wholeness,
Only then will you reap the fruits of joy
Never you turn a blind eye,
To those in need,
You might tread that path tomorrow
Bear children,
Whose names you will not shudder to mention,
Let their light shine in somebody,
For it is through them,
That we keep the soul upright
Set goals,
Make mistakes
Let the past be the past,
But carry its lessons to your future
Bring joy,
To those who cross your path,
Be who they need.
In the path of life,
We always switch routes
Of chances lost and opportunities gained,
Of ways closed down and paths opened,
Of love lost and hate conceived,
So is the way of life
That nothing is constant,
That all chances ought to be protected,
To be held close,
Lest they pass us by.
Of routes travelled,
Of people met,
Of lives lost,
Of babies born,
So is the way of life that touches everyone in many a way,
Though we all live one life.
Of earth shaken,
Of rising sun,
Of dirt in the heart,
Of shine on the flesh,
So is the path we all tread,
Though not all are aware
Of days seen,
Of days unseen,
Of dark shone bright,
Of candles blown out,
Of ways brighter than we imagined,
So is the chance birthed,
For every soul known to the world.
Of crying babies and angered fathers,
Of sad mothers and lost brothers and sisters,
Of tears shed and teeth gnawed,
Of anger conceived and revenge instilled,
So is the heart of the enemy,
Who seeks justification of all wrong-doings.
Of people met,
Of days seen,
Of nights revelled,
Of love made,
So is the beauty that life offers,
Be careful to take it.
I dare you to believe in love,
To believe in loving somebody so much,
It makes you cry.
Love someone so bad,
You are willing to share them,
I dare you,
To find one person you will dedicate your life to,
Cherish none but them,
You may fall,
But there is no reason,
Why you shouldn't believe again.
I dare you not to wait around,
For when they will come around.
Take the bold step,
And help them believe.
I dare you to look at someone,
And let them see through you.
Put aside all you are,
Let them in,
To see all that you have worked so hard to hide from all.
I dare you to make them believe,
On the same love you hold so dear,
So close.
Your love for them,
Even when they do not believe.
I dare you to open up,
Be vulnerable,
Let yourself loose,
High to the sky,
Yet weak like a thread.
I dare you to let your heart beat for a stranger,
Let your feelings be filled with them.
With the rising and the setting of the sun,
No time as short as when they spend a day with you.
No night as beautiful as one seen through their eyes.
I dare you,
To live in the sphere that is their name.
Forget about right and wrong,
Throw readiness out the window.
Keep holding on to what you feel for them,
What you believe.
I dare you to be selfless,
And focus all your energy on a single soul,
No thoughts of what, why, or if,
Running to them,
Talking to them,
Running on empty,
So they can be satisfied.
Always ready to get them started.
I dare you to forget every part of you,
That does not remind you of them.
I dare you to believe in their love for you.
That they would do all that you do, and more.
I dare you to cry when it hurts,
Because they are not there anymore.
And you do not know the first thing about moving a step ahead.
I dare you to believe they are more concerned about you than they have ever been about anyone else.
I dare you to love him,
Even when it doesn't feel right.
And everyone is asking you not to.
I dare you to stand up for what you have.
To block out all parties that may drain all that you have worked on.
To refuse to lose any more,
To refuse to fall,
To refuse to hurt,
To refuse to sit on the fence,
But act on your belief.
I dare you to see the real thick and thin,
And still be there to believe,
And to love,
Even when all sand is sinking around you.
Be ready to turn no page that does not have them written on it.
I dare you to believe in love.
I dare you.
