Hope! ! Poem by Shankaran Kutty

When the night has become so dark and scary
And the stars somewhere have gone
When the moon has hidden behind the clouds
Why break, the light of dawn?

When the land is parched and dry, for water
The lonely plant does cry
When cracks the earth and stoops the plant
Dark clouds line up the sky?

When chaos reigns each every moment
And with evil the world is rife
There comes a saviour to show us the path
Of a simple righteous life

With her tender hands she held him firm
And helped him, blind, to cross the road
And when he asked her "why? ", she said
"I had a grandpa I adored "

When things were going just not right
And I sat bemoaning my fate
A friend came along to touch my heart
Till the sorrows did gently abate

In times when life brings no cheer
And I am feeling very low
Filled with love and tender care
A breeze would gently blow

When the thorny path of life to clear
I struggle, I just cannot cope
My Lord, you hold me, show me the way
And fill my heart, with hope
