Once upon a time,
When I had made up my mind,
There were many things to find,
And all of different kind.
That time from a dark cloud my enthusiasm was killed,
So I had never willed
With grief my heart was filled,
And then I began to be ill.
That time I had no ambition,
No imagination,
My hope was chased,
And thinking erased.
I was lost in pain,
Nothing could I gain,
Whatever I tried,
Was all in vain.
Then rivers dried,
And innocents were tried,
On people mountains broke,
And then at last I woke.
And then my things returned,
A new lesson I had learnt,
The sun had brightly shined,
And life became to me suddenly kind.
I think the sun will shine;
It can take some time,
But don’t you ever lose your hope,
And fearlessly climb the slope.
