The Ending Is Better Than the Beginning

Across the fancy eatery where the snobbish men dined sat a lonely boy,

His face and body assured everyone that he had seen the worst days,

Living in penury he had no one to lend him a helping hand,

Nonetheless his mind was at ease, his end would be better than the beginning,

Every day the dining establishment would be bustling with people,

The owner was friendly and would let the boy have one meal a day,

But for this he had to clean at night after the business closes,

The boy did this gladly knowing that his end would be better than the beginning,

Cuddling himself to sleep after duty he would dream away his destitute life,

The night would be long and cold with silence reigning everywhere,

Tomorrow would be another day to watch the wealthy show off their lavish lifestyle,

Fortune will sway his way one day and the end will be better than the beginning,

He knew everyone thought he was out of place but he had a plan,

People would look at him with peculiar smiles but he never put that to heart,

Darkness would be his companion, moments would pass but his eyes were affixed to the goal,

His soul was illuminated with hope for he knew that the end will be better than the beginning,

Time being precious dreams would ideate his mind and hope rejuvenate his soul,

The universe oozed wisdom, at the yonder there was something he could believe in,

A flame of innovation would traverse his thoughts and embers of joy engulf his nerves,

That street was a beacon of strength he knew his end will be better than the beginning,

At dawn sun would dry the dank while birds would fill the abode with melodious chirps,

The boy would stand there so alone and so cold but still heaving a sigh of relief,

Daylight would mean people throng the diner earning him company albeit for a short time,

Yet in all these his vision became transpicuous, he knew end will be better than the beginning,

He did not waver though he had no playmates for himself or friends to share his laughter with,

He believed emptiness around him should not be a hitch to achieving his dreams,

With patience and shrewdness he would change his fate and be rich someday,

For even when life was full of twist and turns he knew his end will be better than the beginning,

Power of hope was at play clemency of the diner’s owner became his stepping stone,

With brevity and gentleness he approached him and asked for employment at the ancient eatery,

This way he would get to earn a decent living and rid himself of peasantry,

With priceless joy he put on his uniform and attended to every customer with patience and love,

None of the rich realized he is the same lonely boy from across the street serving them,

His face was shiny with smiles all through and the new attire matched with his body figure,

From what he earned he saved every coin for he had nothing or no one to spend on,

The first stair to success he had climbed and his eyes focused on every step to the top,

New friends emerged; the snobbish clients had a change of heart and embraced him,

The universe was powering his will and the train of fortune was driving his way,

His vision came through new opportunities came forth and he took his leap of faith,

In no time he had save enough to buy a space and set up his own shop,

Now he would stand amongst the merchants at the city square and share his thoughts,

For now he was no longer the pauper boy, whom everyone looked down on,

But a man of means, a charismatic leader and a voice of the voiceless in the society,

He became a beacon of hope, a source of joy to his friends and the society,

When the time for the local elections came, the elders implored him to be their leader,

He accepted, was voted in and brought many positive changes to his village,

Everyone was happy, his village developed and his end was better than his beginning.
