DEFENDER'S RAP

• Cares pull my spirits down
•  
• Always force me, ‘wear a frown’
•  
• I heard, “You’ll in darkness drown;
•  
• For weeds in you are also sown.”
•  
•  
•  
• Seeds like unknown fear and worry
•  
• Sprouted in my nursery bed of merry
•  
• On watering, I nourished misery
•  
• Unable to differentiate their finery
•  
•  
•  
• Gradually grew seeds called health and wealth
•  
• But sorrow and sufferings sapped its strength
•  
• I battled and struggled to save my breath
•  
• Expecting someone to fill my heart with mirth
•  
•  
•  
• With this frame of mind
•  
• No way of escape I could find
•  
• On reaching office, I read this thought
•  
• Recited it several times in my heart
•  
•  
•  
• That every sad day
•  
• Is followed by a glad day
•  
• As a team we discussed the layout
•  
• Of a very important handout
•  
•  
•  
• Green is good and soothes the eye
•  
• Yellow and black never get an instant goodbye
•  
• Red and navy blue give a professional look
•  
• Lavender or sky blue, gets anyone on hook
•  
•  
•  
• Everyone suggested a hue
•  
• And it granted me a cue
•  
• Of great surprise among a few
•  
• That if colors carried a clue
•  
•  
•  
• Of a top secret message
•  
• Then I remembered a passage
•  
• For this world Jesus is the true light
•  
• Who makes the face of any man bright
•  
•  
•  
• He’ll weed and make me alright
•  
• My life like aroma will ascend in His sight
•  
• If each and every shade
•  
• That Almighty has made
•  
•  
•  
• Reflects God, as a mighty tower
•  
• And also expounds His awesome power
•  
• Unique His way of having seen my form
•  
• Being formed in womb like a worm
•  
•  
•  
• Fearful yet surprise filled is His greatness
•  
• I wonder and move about carrying His likenes
