Shed a little light, spread a little joy,
For those in the dark, a ray of hope,
No more malice, no more dread,
To a new world, let us look ahead.
Free the soul, of all negativity,
Think I can, I should and I will,
No fear, to try the unknown,
Hold my hand, you are never alone.
Lead the way, never follow,
Your heart shall lead you on,
Listen to its voice, trust its beat,
Then you can find success, even in defeat.
Love your life, never despair,
There is not another like you, you are special,
When you can smile, then why the sorrow?
Forget what is gone, only you can decide your tomorrow.
Rest assured, I’m always there,
By your side, when you are in despair,
Talk to me, and I shall listen,
Like sunlight on the lake, let our friendship glisten.
Vinay Leo R.
Poetry & writing to me are to me, a breath of fresh air in a life that is sometimes covered by the smoke of sorrow or self doubt. They also become the sweets I share to celebrate when life offers me a reason to. But most of all, they are to me, my life. For each word I write is a piece of my heart, a thought that just had to find its way into the world.

As usual,a good one. Optimistic,thought provoking and inspiring..But, whom does the first person refer to ? ‘our heart’ r ‘u’? If its the later its a great responsibility ahead..;)
