When nights are dark, and stretch longer than day

With challenges and delays, nothing going your way

Please don’t act in haste, and throw caution away

Believe me… just stay. There will be a brighter day

When everyone’s busy, and your calls go astray

Even those close to you, seem distant.. far away

When you feel lonely and sad, don’t give up midway

Trust me… and stay. You will see a better day

The world may seem to end, as hope drifts away

With failures and betrayals, and tears of dismay

Having faced it all myself.. I promise – it’s not the end, okay?

Don’t quit… just stay. There will be another day

Just remember to be yourself.. Loving, kind in every way

Being thankful, having faith, courage and humility does pay

Believe in miracles, and soon you’ll see.. Your unique light leads the way

Trust me… just stay. Tomorrow will be brighter than today

A shinier future is on its way…
