Path to Glory

By -

Walk four steps forward, never turn your back towards your aim,
Few more steps down this road lie your moment of fame.
Live a million dreams, it will all come true,
Success is canvased when efforts are painted in bright hues.

    Perseverance is the key. But people nowadays get disheartened so easily. Your words early morning are seriously motivating!

    I miss the poems, but I love these 1-4 liners as well. Thoughts can sometimes give you goosebumps, don't they!

    Awesome Saru! :) "Few more steps down this road, lies your moment of fame" - this is what people normally forget. They forget the last few steps and give up! Success is largely a matter of hanging on when others have let go..

    SO true!
    Don’t worry and fret, faint-hearted,
    The chances have just begun
    For the best jobs haven’t been started,
    The best work hasn’t been done.

Rewind - September 2023

 I wrote the following in September. Sometimes, I feel I will forget the art of writing couplets because I am not writing at all this year. I strongly believe you have to practice to hone your craft. And I am not doing that. Perhaps I schedule a time to write a poem. Or I need better time management skills. Date Published 09/05/2023 मुझे उसके जाने का इतना अफ़सोस नहीं हुआ  जितना इस बात का कि इतने सालों तक उसे रहने ही क्यों दिया  Love, Saru

I Am Not Alone

Last year blessed me, He walked silently into my life. It was Love, That took me in its stride. One evening we walked holding hands, Then, I told him what I felt in heart. He said we were one soul, Who were living in parts. To bring the parts together, We fought with the world and tied the knot. Being one soul, Gave life a whole new spot. Chirping birds, floating clouds, Nature conspired for us. Always swimming against the tide, Life was in an adrenaline rush. This year cursed me, He walked silently out of my life. It was Death, That took him in its stride.       Yesterday his soul was saying, Fearing memories will fade, he can’t move on. He will stay and admire me, Standing always by my side from dusk to dawn.
