‘A Chance’ – Sadness Defying Poem

.

by Monika Ribeiro

Again, you took a big leap of faith

Another dive into waters unknown

Another attempt, another hope raised

And then, lost… Another chance gone.

.

Where is that cup? Is it still running over,

Or has it all spilled? Is it now too late?

Should one do all that one can, again

Or should one succumb to this fate?

.

You may feel pain where you once had joy

It happens to everyone, at some point

Whether young or old, a girl or a boy

Dreams get delayed & folks disappoint

.

It’s not good to be too sad for too long

In the absence of hope and where faith is gone

It’s a dangerous zone where light doesn’t shine

It’s a frightening mirage – that place is a lie!

.

Get up inside – you’ve been lying down

Return to the truth and put on your crown

Reappointed… This is the vision you’ll see

Disappointed is not what you’re meant to be

.

Do you know that tomorrow is near?

Will you meet it in faith or in fear?

Which voice will you hear?

Which one will you ban?

.

Choose One. Let it be God’s Voice

Sometimes, depression really is a choice

To stay sad or not? You don’t have to yield

Pick up His sword. Hold up His shield…

.

Ready or not? Many lives are at stake

You have been bent, but you mustn’t break

Hey! These tears belong to yesterday…

Let the tears dry now, or wipe them away

.

Ready or not – another day comes

Don’t waste this day. It’s a chance!

.
