But in his dreams, he was the acquaintance of a noble class
One fine day, his pleas were heard,
Opportunity, he was granted, albeit with a formidable opposition to surpass.

Doubts in mind proliferated like a holocaust,
But a small ray of hope obstructed him from being lost,
His chosen goal was hard to surmount,
But his faith and ingrained sensitivity,
Acted like an assassin without bound.

Recollecting all his might,
He embarked on the tumultuous path,
His constant companions being tears, blood and pain,
Making him realise that hard times mustn't vanish in vain.
