'Hang On'



All my hopes are shattered
 when I am about to give up
 Just then, an inner voice tells me to hang on
 And never give in even if battered!

  When I lost my dearest mother
 A true companion and balm in pain
 The void that loss it created
 Still guides me to Go On!

 When nothing works and you feel miserable
 The sun rays through darkest clouds
 messaging to keep your hopes alive
 Plunge in to take a longer stride!

 You never give up and go for fall
 Bounce back with vigor that's a call
 Never capitulate and learn with fall
 Courage to bounce back  like a ball!
