Okyakusama ( the guest )….

Knock Knock!
“Who’s there” I cried…

“It’s me ” my sadness smiled…

“Oh you came again ” I sighed….

“Yes I came dear , but not to hurt you

I want to teach you that we don’t appreciate the good times if the clouds don’t come…

That there is no rainbow without rain and sun….

That diamonds too come from deep dark mines…

And without the dark even stars cannot shine…

That every cloud has a silver lining,

no matter it may be so dark…

That joy comes only when we defeat the terror,

The terror that is stark….”

I suddenly realised that my whining was replaced by an euphony of ecstasy

And my sadness taught me the greatest lesson of life….

That happiness will come to those who will constantly strive…
