Meetu Mishra

                    Spirit of resilience

 

When ,life hits hard,

you’re dealt with a blow,

rise stronger,never give in,

adapt,cope,recover,heal,

fight the circumstances,never give in,

find your strength,your path,a way out,

let the world,raise a toast,

to your spirit of resilience.

***

                              Bounce back stronger

 

This life,strange,fragile,complex,

one moment,a fairytale,

the next,a disaster,that’s real,

how’re we supposed to cope and deal?

faith,courage,belief in self,

determination,the only ray of hope,

trust,this too shall pass,

it’s the only way,forward,

bounce back,stronger!!             

***

                                            Heal the soul

  

 

Tragedy,wreaks havoc,

a pall of gloom descends,

dreams,hope,come crashing,

it seems,it is the end,

a thriving world,turns upside down,

the future,we endlessly worry about,

things,we put off,for later,

all become meaningless,

when reality,unfolds,

in these darkest,lowest moments,

have faith,trust his grace,

for he will see you through,

seasons of difficulty,my friend,

heal the soul,hold on.
