There are days and times
When there's thorn in the pine
You don't know of tomorrow
Lo! There might come more sorrow
The Bears getting more brown
Big strongholds come crashing down
You're feeling the pain
Life's getting more strained
Layoff they call it! Retrenchment too!
But always remember
Tis only a matter of time
You feel devoid of dime
The flame inside you - keep it alive
The fire within - let it burn bright
For neither the storms nor the rains will survive
Little hands holding on to yours
Show them the path to follow
You are their hero - the one they wanna be
The one they look up to and the one they admire
Don't let them down.
You are their fire.

The background is the Global Financial meltdown that resulted in many people taking away their own lives. Our message to them was to hold on and there would definitely be a better future if they hang on.]
