Hope is just all what we need..
As i stood standing looking at the handsome image of my face on a mirror i began to recapitulate the struggles and predicaments i went through before i became a renowned figure in the society, tears rolled down my eyes because i knew all what i had been through to cut this short it all begun like this.........................

I was born into a family as the only son and the only child of my family. My Mother died the day she put me to bed due to high intensive pressure she experienced before i was born. But at least she gave me a kiss before she died.
Since my mother died, she left all the responsibilities to my father to take on from where she left, but at least my father was compassionate and understanding i liked him for that. My father was a man that believed in tomorrow he always endured even when we had no food to eat he always made me feel happy in fact i was proud of my father.
As time went on my father began to age, slowly he died day by day in addition to it he suffered from leukemia(Cancer of the blood) a dreaded disease that was incurable, even if it was curable destiny had it always he would still have died all because we were poor. At the age of 19 my father had to send me to the city to go and stay with my uncle who was a well to do man. My uncle trained me through my secondary and university college. I graduated as an electrical/electronics Engineer with a master degree. To you. you might think the skies is my limit but for me i was in hell on earth.I had a serious problem, it was my uncles wife. She was a sex maniac she always wanted to be with me in fact to be be specific she was like potiphar's wife and i was Joseph in the bible. in fact the day i was through with her was the day she begged me to sleep with her, at first i considered this issue it was insane, i refused she forced me but i declined only for her to set me up into a rape scene. She called me to help me do some work only for her to shout aloud that i was raping her and to add to the scene she tore her clothes in fact i was perturbed before i could realize myself a dangling blow was sent smashing into my face i had no alternative than to run. I ran aimlessly.hopelessly and foolishly around the city, i became an extricate.
Meanwhile i wrote several applications to different companies for job opportunities they all turned me down instead the choose female candidates who could pay in kind(use their bodies).
I roam the streets of the city begging for food and help until i met a set of old friends when i was still little the drove me in their car, they deceived me into waiting in their car but i only ended up in a cell because all my friends were criminals they used me as an advocate for their plans i was sentenced to 5 years imprisonment for engagement in a robbery plan i never knew of. I laid in the cell looking retched and hopeless i had no one to run to and my father was dieing slowly in the village i had no alternative than to pray to God almighty who indeed answered my prayers.
I was released from prison after further investigations of the robbery which declared me innocent.
As i left the prison yard looking back at the worries and suffering i went through, a white limousine packed in front of me, a man richly dressed came out and handed me an envelope then zoomed off.
i opened the envelope only to see this..........................

So on the letter read in fact tears of joy rolled down my eyes as i read this letter at-last!! my dream came true to me.
I was given a furnished house and a car with a well to do salary, i invited my dad down to my house as soon as i received the letter. My dad was given first class medication so as to enable him live longer for me because he has the only surviving blood family i had.
Just one day i came back home to collect my documents that i passed a mirror it attracted me to look at myself then lo and behold it was me once again it was then i knew that "BEHIND EVERY CLOUD THERE`S A SILVER LINEN
