CHASING RAINBOW

Will my life be worth living if it is not for the dream I am holding?

Every day I look at the dawn, and see my horizon an inch closer to me,

The greatness I want to achieve needs diligence;

Yet! I have to constantly brush off my doubts of not seeing rain of contentment.

Where do I get my hopes and strength from? For the road to success in not car in a posh street,

In every twist and turns I am global by choices; will the right one be the best one?

I have to look at the sky and gave more than a passing glance;

I cannot take a day or a night for granted.

Day by day I am learning to grow, running when others crawling,

I am not going to give up fighting for my dreams to come true;

There might be thunders of disappointments, lightings of frustration welcoming a storm,

But I will be strong, for my dreams will have splendid colours- I am chasing rainbow.
