Hope Amidst Strife
Dr Ranbir Laishram *
In Kangleipak's troubled land,
Where shadows of strife and pain expand,
A glimmer of hope still shines like a beacon bright,
Illuminating the dark of night.
Through reflections of years gone by,
Grief, loss, and unmet hopes whisper sighs.
Yet, in this space, a choice is made,
To hold on to hope, a heart not swayed.
For those who navigate life's turbulent sea,
Hope is the anchor that sets the soul free.
A powerful antidote that orients and guides,
Toward a brighter horizon, where hearts reside.
Hope is a flame that flickers yet remains,
A catalyst for resilience, a heart that sustains.
It transforms challenges into opportunities anew,
A powerful mechanism for healing, for me and for you.
Every movement, every breakthrough, every discovery's might,
Began with someone hoping for a different light.
Hope illuminates the darkest corners of our past,
And reminds us that today's pain can become tomorrow's progress at last.
Your hope matters, don't let it fade,
A courageous decision that guides you through life's parade.
Hope is maintaining faith in positive potential,
A testament to human resilience, a bridge to a brighter continental.
In the tapestry of human experience, we're intertwined,
Hope is the thread that weaves our stories, a bond of heart and mind.
Through hope, we rise above the strife,
And find the strength to rebuild, to heal, to thrive in life.
May hope be the north star that guides us through,
The turbulent seas of struggle, to a brighter shore anew.
May our hearts remain aglow, with hope's eternal light,
Illuminating the path, through the darkest of nights.
