In childhood
When I used to pass by your grave every day
with a hope
to be blessed by you
with a desire
to see you in some way
But at this stage of my life
I firmly believe that
You were, you are
always with me
in all my hopes,
desires and aspirations
in all the struggles of my life
in all my pains and miseries
in all my ups and down of life
This belief I continue to cherish
till the end of my life
and my trust in you
will never fade
whatever the situation may be.
