Start off your day with prayers and hope
And come to terms with your challenging life
Enjoy every moment and be the echo of faith
Look at life's continuum and try to survive
You are blessed to have family and friends
Who are there for you to share joy and pain
Who come forward to hold your shaking hands
And show their happiness for your smile and gain
There are many questions in your confusing mind
Which don't have answers that you want to hear
Where your emotions are running deep and high
And the ebb and flow of life are difficult to bear
Do not give up or lose your faith and hope
Do not feel so confused, lost or ever alone
We are here for you to hold you beloved mom
To hug and kiss you in your comfort zone
I wish and pray for luck, peace, joy and serenity
And I know what you are really going through
I can see you are deeply stuck in your distant past
And you face many challenges those make you blue
Just know we are all here to hold your shaking hands
To warm up your heart and soul with prayers hue
And help you to comfortably reach your finish line
On the tracks of your life like a winner in God's queue.
