Life is something
that strolls between delight and despair
When joy rides on our homes
we forget all the other world
and involve our selves
in streams of happiness and delight
When shadow strikes us any time
despair draws into our hearts
making us sorrowful all the time.
Delve not deeper into causes of despair
wave them at the starting point itself with much energy
and force it to leave us sharp in shorter duration
not giving any scope for it to stay back for longer periods

I like the thoughts that are in this. It gives a good message about not dwelling on the bad things. Thanks for entering.

Hmm, not too sure that I find this uplifting, but more dwelling on the times of deepening despaire.
However, it's more like a "do as you're told" poem, like a psychiatrist might say, so I do see where you're coming with this one, and hey, perhaps it will work!
best wishes in the contest
