Nurturing hope (Learning from Nirbhaya's Mother)



Her daughter was brutally raped

She felt helpless as she could not be saved

But it was hope that kept her moving

Moving to plead for justice

Day in and day out 

She continued with this practice

Of trudging from door to door

Working up and strengthening 

Her plea more and more

It was hope that pushed away her fears

It was hope that dried her tears

It was hope that cleared the hurdles

It was hope that lessened the burden

Till she succeeded without succumbing

As the courts helped to solve her case by delivering

A death sentence for all the four culprits

Sidelining the criminal defence lawyer's dirty tricks

So dear friends, always keep your hopes alive

For it is an endowment that genuinely helps one thrive
