I see people living in repression,
Leading to depression,
Even thinking of committing suicide.
Their way of life unable to abide,
Of shame, sorrow or regret,
Sometimes anger, jealousy,hate.
But, there is a way out of it,
If you have patience and gratitude ,
The two arms of Faith,
Which saves you from his wrath.
Patience is the state of endurance
Under difficult circumtances,
Abstains you from sins,
Stops you from temptations,
Gives you satisfactions.
Gratitude reminds you of the Divine's bounties,
Calls you to his duties,
Adopts your body to life's hardships.
So if you have in Him Faith,
You have peace in life and even in death.
Thoughts of suicide never enters your mind,
And your bad traits are left behind.
Suicide is for cowards.God puts you on trials of hardships,shame,sorrow to test your endurance.With patience and gratitude of his bounty you can overcome everything.Remember Noah and the Ark, Jesus and the Crucifix and Moses and the Pharoah.
