Serenity on your face

The tower so tall to see its limit
The burden so heavy to give a helping hand
Your suffering so heavy to imagine its end
The journey so tiresome to come to its completion
You walk in shadows and wonder why you never see the light
You read inspirational books and stories and never get an impact
You laugh the loudest but deep down inside you are the saddest
You are surrounded by friends yet you are a loner
Take a look outside, look at the trees around and birds above and smile broadly
Stop the boring routine spare a minute or two and stare at the horizon, its natural and nobody is gonna take it away from you.
Go to a kindergarten and engage the children around, immerse your mind deeper into what goes their head 
Tour into the prison centers and talk to the prisoners. Give them a message of hope and reciprocate. Interact with them as long as you would want and leave.
In the wards, walk through the hospital beds, offer whatever you can and please don't wait for an applause. Just do it and walk away honorably.

Go back to your tower and I promise you'll see its limit
Go back to your friend or foe and am sure you are going to give a helping hand 
Go back and you are going to see the end of your suffering and start a new journey

Am certain of all these because however weary and tired the bedridden patient is, there's serenity in his or her face
There's serenity on that kindergarten kid's face however small we may try to ignore it
There's serenity on that long serving inmate's face. How would you know if you don't go and confirm?
In struggles and hardships, never lose the sparkle on your face and as a newborn baby let everyone around see the serenity on your face.
