Sparks of hope | Poem by Yashvi,14, Kolkata
It’s never too late to make a start. 14-year-old Yashvi from Kolkata has a great message of hope.
Believe in the sparks of hope
When the world blackens out,
When the oceans get parched,
When the lands shrivel,
When the air comes to halt,
Then plant the seed of love.
When the sun sets over the horizon,
When the terror descends,
When the chandeliers extinguish,
When the matchsticks perish,
Then search for sparks of hope.
When families and friends drift apart,
When the caprice of fate begins its move,
When prickly horns cover the path,
When life slowly ebbs away,
Then call for a whisper of happiness.
The seed of love will become a tree,
The sparks of hope will become a fire,
The whisper of happiness will become a zephyr,
They will be the incarnation of God,
Misery will vanish into thin air.
