I look up at the sky
And wonder when I can touch it.
With so many things to look out for
How will I rise to the very top?

The impetus for me to try,
The thing that lends me the grit…
Is desire that I have to soar
& the other important thing – hope!

I have been pulled down,
So many many times.
It is right for me to expect
That nothing shall work the first time around.

There are times when I frown,
Times when my heart pines.
Times when bleak are many the prospect,
When I wonder how I sound?

But then I look at the sky,
And wonder when I am going to touch it…
With so many things to look out for
I wonder how I can rise to the top?

I see that the only way is to try,
The only way is to keep on at it,
Even when I am beaten sore,
The one thing I shan’t lose is hope…

I may now frown,
But I will certainly smile.
I may now be sad,
But I will later be happy.

With all the distractions around,
I am going to make it worth my while…
When the going gets bad,
I will try harder…

I look up at the sky
And wonder when I can touch it.
With so many things to look out for
How will I rise to the very top?

The impetus for me to try,
The thing that lends me the grit…
Is desire that I have to soar
& the other important thing – hope!
