Shimmering Light

Here I was, in total confusion

To face, to quit or run

 “Don’t you ever quit”, you said, dear sir

 And that indeed was my decision.

Maths and Science, poor scores

You have no future said my dad

You gave me the tools of perseverance dear Sir,

That’s when God opened other doors.

There I was, with dreams shattered   

No help ever seem mattered

God opens other doors, you said, dear sir,

That’s when hope glimmered.

Here I was on cloud nine

Proud, ecstatic with joy divine

Take life with even handle, you said, dear sir,

Grounded I remained and peace was mine.

You led me through my life’s journey

Guiding me ever on a higher goal

Who ever said you are no more,

Dear sir, you are my second soul
