Eyes That Face Forward

By Dr. Daisaku Ikeda

Human eyes gaze toward the light, 

Not cast in shadows of the night. 

 

Hope lies ahead, so do dreams, 

Victory flows in forward streams. 

 

Though trials wait with heavy hand, 

Lift your face, take your stand. 

Step by step, keep pressing through, 

A world anew will welcome you.
