Rhyme Time
Life of struggle

Oh struggle, oh struggle

You are my best friend

With your help

I’ll change the trend

The trend of tears

The trend of fears

I am lucky, God is good

You’ve been with me since childhood

In darkness, you give the light

tell me, with storms how to fight.

There are hurdles, I find

But you are with me, so I don’t mind

I’ll hit the target, you say you always Offer a ray of hope

I have a dream for humanity

Hope you’ll help me perform this duty

Obstacles should be no bar

For I intend going far

I watch him among the stars in the sky

I watch him among the birds that fly

I watch him smiling from far away

And I miss him since the parting day

My oldest friend, my dearest friend

And at present, my lonely friend

I miss him and get grieved so deep

On remembering I just want to weep

Oh! that sorrowful, that miserable day

And that torturing time to part away

Those few seconds of moisture in my eyes

My trembling words and then his disappearance

Through the lonely skies

I remember, I remember and I suggest you too

Do today what you have to do

For what if never comes the morrow

I say, I say and I truly say that

Parting is such a sweet sorrow
