I look back at the journey traversed so far,

at the milestones achieved ,

at the ditches once fallen..

I see them muddied, i seem them running dry..

but all through the ups and downs,

I see you with me.. your footprints near mine..

The times do change, i hear you say..

it is not mine rite now, but it wouldn't forever be the same..

You give me my trials, a pretty fair share this time

I tremble with the load, it is indeed my first time..

But know I will find a light at the end of it all..

And I go ahead with this faith..

The same faith being my single guiding torch, this sole idea gripping me all along..

My faith trembles at times,a ploy of my humanness..

Doubts cloud my mind, my feet retreats in weariness..

Yet My heart, it chants your name with every single beat..

comforting my soul, letting me know I am safe with you around..

Try me however you may, my devotion wouldn't as much as sway...

You show me my tears - Alas! I do not have  command over them..

The soul  you gave- Yes! It still trembles facing insensitivity

The heart  you raised -  Yes! It  still defends the sword that strikes,,

But my lips still holds a smile for you , amidst the lines of worry or fears or unruly tears

Because hide however you may, I have known you around all along..

Wrapped in your blessings and held in your faith,

I would go on till the end, where my rightful joy awaits...
