*1.* The sound of your tears,
The heartbeat of your quest; and
The melody of your soul;
None is without the day of christening;
None is without the moment of fraternity; and
The details are in the reflections on your life;
……………………………….
*2.* Multitudes seek a way out of the quagmire;
Penury rises at the East of the disenchanted; and
At the West of the dejected darkness sets in;
Yet the parallel robe changes the cry of the Different: –
Abundance amidst difficulty rises from the East of their cry; and
At the West, real comfort, coaxes the rhythm of their hope;
…………………………….
*3.* Must I deny my existential burden:
Nay, I will invite the right hand of Remedy –
In planning, I call the name of Success;
In working, I call the names of Excellence and Fruitfulness;
In difficulty, I call the name of Overcomer;
In a straight betwixt two, I call the names of Clarity and Vision;
…………………………….
*4.* When accused, I call the names of Honesty and Conviction;
In betrayal, I call the name of Loyalty;
In beholding penury, I call the names of Compassion and Kindness;
When everything is beneath, I call the Name-Above-All-names JESUS.

The second stanza now coalates the thoughts of the present while contrasting.
Stanzas 3 and 4 focus on the resolve for the future and the merits of a state d writer finds herself in. The beauty n love of being a Christian n following the Christ.
