I am but a simpleton,
You are but a singleton,
We are but ephemeral being,
Let this be but a casual sing.
When your shoulders weigh a ton,
And all hopes seem to be gone,
It may be a tormenting thorn,
But don’t your soul ever be torn.
When you missed the silver lining,
Do not fret more by whining,
For you haven’t an inkling,
When the next may be shining.
When you find no strength to continue fighting,
Do not appear like a lost weakling,
When you find no faith to be the winning,
Don’t be the losing, be the sporting!
Life is not about contending,
Nor is it about completing,
It revolves about understanding,
And the wisdom that is depleting.
Don’t be a sore in failing,
Don’t be too mean in forgiving,
For the ones remained standing,
Are those who never cease giving.
Remember my friend,
Do anything but never mourn,
Dream anything but not the throne,
Never let your heart be forlorn,
For a new chance shall always be born.
