Long years ago, <br />The days were bright <br />And life was not much ado; <br />Tell dear hearty, <br />Please do tell: <br />Where did those days go? <br /> <br />These days are hard, <br />Tough, full of strain; <br />Caught in the fix of loss and gain! <br />To those days of past <br />I want to retard; <br />This is a desire, <br />The desire of a bard. <br /> <br />Those days were good, <br />Those days were great; <br />Words came out from heart, <br />They did come straight. <br />Now we have mastered a malicious art: <br />We've made this brain a broker <br />'Tween the transactions of tongue and heart! <br /> <br />The storm is harsh, <br />But dont look down. <br />Stare into the rain with an intention so pure, <br />And keep on staring; <br />The silver lining is to be seen for sure!<br /><br />Vasu Kumar<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/never-say-die/
