The Guiding Light (Exhibited in an event with the theme Hope, Help,Strength organized to help families affected with suicides held on Nov 6,2010 in Palo Alto, California)

I am a traveler and walking

through this vast desert,

it seems that I will never

be able to reach my destination,

for all I see around me,

are vast stretches of brown sand

which seems to extend

into infinity,

It is still daytime now

and I am finding it

so difficult already,

what will happen when the sun goes to sleep?

who will guide me

towards my goal?

I feel disheartened,

and am almost ready to give up,

but then I hear God telling me

it doesn’t matter whether it is day or night,

what will always be at your side

and lead you,

will be your inner guiding light

and that  dear child

always remains awake

no matter whether it is day or night!
