Darkness shall be engulfed by light,

We hope darkness goes away.

Light shall swallow it with all its might ,

We hope darkness remains at bay.

Presented with many sorrows,

Unhappy too much we wail.

Other's joy we wish to borrow,

When in our minds darkness leaves a trail.

Too much we suffer that we fall to our knees,

Feeling that we are not blessed.

What we fail to realize , to see,

Is that others bear no less.

Suffering is a blessing for we get strong,

Through hardships and tumultuous tests.

For joy too much we long,

When on our way come quests.

Gold gets purer when tested in fire,

And so shall we do the same.

For if you need to get better, you need to tire,

Not sit there and consider it a bane.

Blessing comes disguised as pain,

To fight it, the journey we must commence,

Sometimes our work seems to go in vain,

So that we learn the gift of patience.
