Song Of Comfort Poem by Raj Arumugam

perhaps the day is thorny
the world is crushing;
perhaps the weight is heavy
and the burden borne alone:
still be of cheer, sweetheart,
wherever you might be,
whatever the darkness that encircles you;
be of cheer always,
sweetheart,
for the caring sun yet shines for you


perhaps there is betrayal
and there is coldness
and even the closest
move a great distance;
each step seems to bring you three back
and the air you breathe may
flow hot like fire:
still be of cheer, sweetheart
wherever you might be,
whatever the pain that encircles you;
be of cheer, sweetheart
for the nurturing sun yet shines for you
