By Dr. Kawal Deep Kour
With a beacon of hope, as I watch go by,
Every fleeting second with a wink of an eye,
The drudgery of existence, the travails of life—
It is a hope that shoves me to fight and strive.
The hope is Me; the hope is I.
No past shall hold me, no future shall bind,
For past is history, the future a figment.
A moment well lived in present is true—
The moment is Me; the moment is I.
A day shall not dawn, no night pass by,
When hope would desert and fear reign high.
For I hold the will to win and smile—
The will is Me; the will is I.
Every moment is a treasure, every day a prize,
With a promise to dare every moment of life.
A promise I made: no tear shall drop by—
The promise is Me; the promise is I.
Miles to tread and journeys to undertake—
What would be accomplished if you feign and fake?
Dare to dream with a mission in life—
The power is Me; the power is I.
