Never Too Late

(dedicated to all front line fighters across the globe)

We’ll always care about you
it’s never too late
we’ll always be there for you
till every storm abates

Their efforts reached a crescendo
as tired heart beat out its last symphony
all whispers ending in a decrescendo
hidden emotions and unspoken words
asking self how can I go?
remembering sweet memories and love

Heartbeat started again rhythmically
what is making it so?
it is love, answered the soul gently
unconditional, selfless and all-nurturing
all stages of life pass by successively
it is always meant to be like this

The worst scenarios always disappear in haze 
time passes and brings a change
yesterday was a puzzle, tomorrow would again be a maze
live in the present with no fears
all heroes fight for others, through challenging days
so believe in yourself and be brave

Shining stars, moonlight and cold breeze sings
humanity is caring, sacrificing and unique
dew drops, fragrant flowers, delicate butterfly wings
all nature’s beauties teach
what inner peace and unconditional love brings
faith, submission, surrender

We’ll always care about you
it’s never too late
we’ll always be there for you
till every storm abates
