SPARKLE

I have seen
A sparkle in your eyes,
The way life turns ,
Its petals unfold,
Days turn overleaf.

No pain
No gain
The saying goes so ,
It pays in long run, oldies says so.

Life is there to stay,
In you,
In me,
In the world around,
Just go ahead
Never loose hope,
One day
Serenity will be found .
