# A Promise I Made Myself... Poem by Mamta Agarwal
# A Promise I Made Myself...
I have promised myself to keep my face
Towards the light, even if faint and pale
For it gives me, even if brief, a respite
From despair, grief—human plight…
Even when darkness and night descends
And I slowly crawl into my cold bed,
I try to think of now extinct fire flies
Alive and glowing in my mind’s eye…
Oh, pain give up, I refuse to succumb
Or hug you tight to my heaving bosom
Or wear you like a shroud or veil
I’ll rise like the Sun, for sure without fail…
A very uplifting and heart warming poem, excellent work. Best wishes, Andrew

This is indeed a philosophy we must all adopt! With light God created this world! We have His divine spark too - but fail to rekindle it! When we face the light our shadow gets left behind, but when we turn away, the shadow looms up in front! ! I had written a few poems on these thougths. Thanks. -Raj Nandy
