[bodytext] => We were innocent, careless, and young When my grandma told us this story * * * * * In the dark virgin forest Was a tree hidden Anybody who has seen this tree Live their lives problem free Nothing is magical about this tree Except is its name The Tree of Hope is it called Huge iron fence around it walled Those who possess that magic That magical painful blood Painful blood in their heart and vein Who cannot live anymore to bear the pain So my dear little angels Whenever life is hard Hard enough to breathe and survive Go find this tree; it’s a Hope’s hive * * * * * Standing at the end of the cliff Ready to jump and end the pain This was the only way to heaven And I didn’t want to miss this last train A cool soothing breeze hit my face Gave me a moment wanting to live This was the time that I recalled the tree Whose only duty was a new life to give I thought about it for an instant Why not give this a try If even this doesn’t work out The only thing I have to do is die * * * * * The forest wasn’t as inspiring as thought Pitch blackness had annihilated the light I wondered how I could survive it The death’s force and its might Suddenly had Goosebumps all over my body For even in the darkness, visible it was The iron fence fifty feet tall The only source of light it was I increased my pace A smile on my face I ran towards my life My children and my wife The wall seemed to reduce height As near as I went to it My heart beating at a furious pace All I wanted to was go near and sit I stood in front of that tree With awe and fascination This must be heaven I thought My life’s destination The trunk of the tree Was the only thing I could see A bright beam of light fell Right where it’s supposed to be I sat right under the tree Like being Buddha it felt Looking up I saw the light’s source And all my problems started to melt A huge gap between the leaves Made way for light to this Hope’s Hive And then I clicked to me And was glad to be alive The tree was born in this forest A forest as dark as anything could be It was Hope that kept it alive For the light it wanted to see It kept on growing with a sigh Keeping its head high To see the impossible light And defeat the darkness’s might And with hope it grew Till the day of success When the light fell on it Relieving it of all the stress If in a thousand miles of eternal darkness A tree can Hope for light And find it one day And win the fight Why can’t we Humans do that? Hope for happiness on the worst days Fight for it with Hope Until forever it stays - TEJAS THAKKER [comments] => 1 [counter] => 160 [topic] => 19 [informant] => tejas9999 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => InspirationalPoems )
