This is a tale I told myself,
To make my faith stronger,
A woman, she preached till she lived,
“If you keep faith in the almighty, there is nothing you can’t conquer.”
This is the same woman, who once,
While travelling through a desert with no sign of life,
Was losing all her hope,
Of finding ways just to survive.
Fighting her way, in she wandered,
An absurd place it seemed,
While she was struggling hard at first,
Here, the tables were turned.
Everything seemed to clear up,
Just as she saw a light through the clouds,
It bent around her finger,
Suddenly, she heard a voice echoing in her heart aloud.
“I have been with you all along, at no moment you’re alone”, it said,
She blinked her eyes once or twice,
To make sure she’s conscious and alive,
Then, up she gathered her threads, nothing was stopping her from moving ahead.
With a smile on her face, showing her courage, she reached the end,
She looked up as if asking for reassurance,
And there it was, the voice again,
“You’ve made it, my dear, the strong one you remain.”
And that’s where I gathered the courage to move ahead,
Knowing there is always someone there with me,
No matter what your destination is,
Believe in whatever you choose and just let it be.
