THERE’S AN ANGEL

When the chips are down

The goings rough

Individuals break down

To curse their fate

Not knowing what to do next

Feeling all alone

Individuals sulk in solitude

Knowing well, even his shadow has deserted too!

Lifting up his low morale

Showing him number of open doors

All these while

An invisible angel assists him

With the chips all down

Individuals live in complete darkness

Far away from the world

In the big, small world

The angel treads swiftly

Showing the trickle of light

Brightening his dark world

A will to live enlivens the individual

Overcoming obstacles with new confidence

Life starts to roll once again

With the will to strive

The individual excels with a new vigour

Smile takes over the frowns

As failures turn steadily into success

The angel moves aside

As individuals walk again in lost pride

To thank the invisible angel

There are a very few individuals

Maybe difficult but it’s true

There’s an angel always by your side
