2015 - Create Your Own Sunshine

[Seema Chowdhury]

When darkness spreads everywhere
And there is no smile or hope left
When unbearable pain and sigh
Take away your care and zest

When sky looks dull and dark
And only doubt and fear prevail
Then you must create our own sunshine
And write your own fabulous tale

Life is a unbreakable chain of events
Where future, present and past
All follow one another swiftly
And sometimes catchup fast

Where you hear echoes and voices
And carve memories on your heart
With overwhelming sense of joy
Those are deeply soothing to start

A life of unexpected strength
Or compound grief and fear
So you must try and try again
To hang on to the tender prayers

So when you see darkness glimpse
And dark clouds of doubts at sail
You can create your own sunshine
And write your own fabulous tale.

Indeed, we should be deterministic about staying positive, and not allow the woes of the world to drag us down, Seema.
