Notebook Scribblings Part XI

wrote this for a friend of mine....many years back..i have the yellowing paper
with me as i type this and the date says :21/3/2000....



You Can

where has gone the fire in your eyes?
where has gone the spirit of your soul?

where is the confidence that saw you through?
where is the smile that graced your face?

where is the glimpse of you within you?
don't tell me that you have lost!

dont tell me that you have given up
till now having fought....

the bloodiest battles that you have stood
dont tell me, a minor pierce has shook you!

is it you,or is it someone else that i see?
there were those days and then today...

lost are the days, when you changed a possible failure
today you change a possible success

why do you shiver, my friend?
I have looked up to you when i was unsure...

why do you shiver, my friend?
please look within, revive your spirit

for , right now, i see you perishing...
these are days of sadnes i know

but look upto the days of joy
and see how you can make those yours!

I know my friend, what sorrow is
but you are not the ordinary, you can fight!

Don't tell me you can't, I know
who you are and i tell you, "you can"
