At The End Of A Storm Is A Golden Sky

There will be no words that I can say, no advise I can give or share any pictures which will ease the pain or reduce the anguish that the people in Gaza and the West Bank go through. All that  I can ask the people of in Gaza is to have hope! Hope that things will change for the better, hope that the dark clouds will finally move away,hope that there will be peace.

It is understandable to question a person sitting across an another continent to say have hope. People often tend to believe that hope is a dangerous thing, it can drive a man insane. I would like to believe that hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever has to die.

I would like to share a few lines of a song by Gerry and the Pacemakers which does help me through my tough times, I hope it has a similar impact on you too:

When you walk through a storm, hold your head up high
And don’t be afraid of the dark
At the end of the storm, there’s a golden sky
And the sweet, silver song of a lark

Walk on through the wind
Walk on through the rain
Though your dreams be tossed and blown

Walk on, walk on
With hope in your heart
And you’ll never walk alone
You’ll never walk alone

You will be in my prayers and thoughts. I do hope that the conflict in Gaza comes to a speedy and amicable end.
