As I look in the mirror

I can see

Sitting embarrassed;

Disappointed me.

Suddenly the breeze moves my hair,

It makes me get up from the chair.

I approach the curtains

And move them apart

A feel of comfort is sensed by me:

And then my mind starts to think,

Why sit embarrassed? Why lose hope?

Whatever circumstances, you have to cope.

Everything of nature is telling me,

The best way to success is not to lose hope:

Dark nights are followed by bright day,

Sea waves eventually strike the shore;

Look at the sand of the bay,

Most of it never bore,

Some of it on the other hand

Bear green grass on the strand:

This is actually for you to note,

That you should never ever lose hope.
