    Pearls of happiness
    In a sea of troubles

    Peals of laughter
    In a heap of rubble

    For every tear
    God has a sweet pear

    For every heartache
    God has a cupcake

    For every betrayal
    God has innocence
    In the metro rails

    Your sadness is no absolute
    Your despair is not ultimate

    There will be relief
    In a beautiful song
    In a beautiful butterfly
    Yes this is all true
    None of it is a lie

    I hear ragas of Baiju Bawra
    I look back at the time of cholera
    And I think will I get this
    Pearl of deep joy
    Even when i am surrounded
    With so many expensive toys?

    Dear @SuiDhaaga,

    Oh my! how I missed this poetry this long!. Every stanza Deserves a “wow”.

    Each of this stanza could be quoted juxtaposed to title of a story and also can serve as an article filler at the end of stories in READERS’ DIGEST.

    Before some one does this, JUST FORWARD THIS POEM TO RD & am sure you would get more accolades and compensation too.

    I enjoyed the rhyme scheme running here and the undercurrent of optimism ie hope.
    Thanks and Regards.
    God Bless.
