sathya narayana - MY STRENGTH

What is in life……so great?
Hard times arrive to hurt
With no notice prior
Fortunes! So promiscuous!
Flirt for a while and disappear
Lo! This is life! Full of
Strain, struggle and strife

But I built my own fort
In my life; a good part
I gave it to jest and laughter
Let come pain or predicament
I can stave off and stay stiff
Like an unbending alp

Believe it or not!
Humour is my armour
My weapon and my forte
Bearing and braving my blues
And cruising my life boat
Through many an unpleasant strait
Safely and smoothly
Towards the other port

sathya narayana
