Ray

Like the ray, keep shining bright. do not lose hope

A truant ray peeped out

The distant clouds thundered

It drew back for an instant

It pondered and it wondered.

 

The rain came down in torrents

The ray now had to hide

It was a tiny ray

With courage as its guide

 

The thunder clouds did roar

in the shadows did it wait

Eager was the young one

To smile , however late….

 

The rain stopped for a second

A rift in the clouds was seen

The ray at once pushed forward

Propelled by a power unseen.

 

A brightness amid the gloom

A herald of joy and fun

The pioneering ray’s initiative

Was applauded by the sun.

The ray burst forth in its glory

It swelled, and swelled with pride

Dispelling all the shadows

Which withered, and then died

 

Having fulfilled its mission

It heaved a sigh of relief

At twilight, it departed

Its reign was great, but brief

 

On the other side of the earth

It was the first to appear

Light follows darkness, darkness follows light

The ray was full of cheer

 

Eternal, bright, and glowing

Immortal in its glory

The ray that shone amid the gloom

Was worth a little story.

 

It shone and shone over the years

Till doomsday did appear

It was the first, and it was the last

The ray of hope and cheer…….
