Poems by Joydip

I cannot promise                       
you that there will be no sad moments in your life,

But I promise                    
to wipe away your tears till my last breath.

I cannot promise                           
you that life will be easy and trouble-free,

But I promise                     
to walk with you till my last breath.

I cannot promise                               
you that there will be no betrayals in life,

But I promise                    
to remain by your side till my last breath.

I cannot promise
you that life will be cheerful and pleasant,

But I promise                      
to help you smile till my last breath.

I cannot promise                            
you that there will be no setbacks in life,

But I promise                   
to help you face those challenges till my last breath.

I cannot promise   
you that life will be comfortable and secure,

But I promise
to make you feel safe till my last breath.
 
I cannot promise                           
you that there will be no obstacles and hurdles in life,

But I promise                    
to hold your hand through difficulties till my last breath.

I cannot promise 
you to love forever,

But I promise                       
to love you till my last breath.

Adversity brings out the best in you
It often helps to find something new -

A hidden talent or clears a doubt
Or you understand what life's about

Adversity nourishes you to become strong
It helps to reach where you truly belong

Adversity makes you tough and wise
It shows where your strength lies

Adversity is nothing but a stepping stone
To a path that seems rugged and unknown

But if you let courage be your guide,
And can take things on your stride,

Don't get dejected and continue to fight.
In the end, you'll see hope and light.
