SOMEDAY, SOMEHOW…

Someday, somehow when sometimes weclose our eyesThere are a few things that we realizeWe realize that there are few angelsaround usThe angels that God sent for us, angelsthat support us in all the troublesAngels who hold us whenever our feetstumbles

Whenever situations are against me, theseangels make me strongThey understand me when things go wrongSomeday, somehow when I look at my lifeWhen I look at this world, the rain, the clouds and the skyI do feel that this world is so beautiful due to their existenceI can see these angels in my family and friends

Someday, somehow when we try to calculateWhat we have earned so far in lifeWe realize that we have earned the love and care of theseangelsWhich is far more precious than anything else in life

When I look at these angels I do feel thatAlthough I don’t have everything I wantBut they are for sure the best gift for meIt is due to these angels that I can cross all hurdles happily

When I was thinking how can I deserve somebody so sweetI wondered this life is full of surprisesThe same person can become your biggest support, whomyou never knewAnd that is why you both meet.

Someday, somehow when we walk through a street in thenightSome moments suddenly come to the mind and make ussmileFor sure, without these angels, life would have been futile.
