Often I ask myself

Often I ask myself, what do I want?

Often I ask myself, what do I want?

Is there something in my life that I can truly flaunt

The answer is simple, the answer is penned

Wait till I reach the poem’s end

Left for a job miles apart, tears in my eyes and a heavy heart

I asked myself if I was smart, will this give me a good start

Days and months passed and passed, the same question I always asked

Was life moving a bit fast, was everything around getting bypassed

Engrossed in work day by day I became

Never did complain, no one did I blame

Often in office stayed late, thinking always if that was my fate

No one cared, though everyone stared; they kept thinking I was not so great

Years later I met them again, cup of tea in misty rain

And that’s when they understood, their life was so plain

I stood there strong and successful

They stood there wrong and stressful

A loud voice from the crowd

Wanted to know what made me proud

A thundering noise from the cloud

And these are the words I said them loud

Family and Friends I never forgot

Even when I worked, even when I slogged

When time was tough when life was rough, they were the ones who stood by my side

My eyes today finally filled with pride

They were my strength all this while

Because of them today I smile

They are the reason I stand here straight

Now did you understand what makes them great

And this is the answer for all who care

Here is the reason I finally share

Love your family love your friend

Make this thing your life’s trend
