Hope

by Nitin Nargund

There is Death,
Yet we all Live
Because there is a Hope
A Hope that there is a Life
Before we die.

There are Tears,
Yet we smile
Because there is a Hope
A Hope that we can laugh
Before we Cry.

At the end of every line
A Full Stop can be seen,
But it’s the Hope that tells that
Somewhere a new paragraph
Is about to begin.

If there wouldn’t had been Hope,
After every Dusk
There wouldn’t had been
A new Dawn.

It there wouldn’t had been Hope,
In the Battle of Chess
The mighty King wouldn’t had been Checkmate
By a simple Pawn.

But then, we have to accept some things,
The things we cannot prevent,
Call it our fate,
Or call it an accident.

Fate can be fought,
So is the strife,
Because there is a Hope
A Hope, called Life.
