Just fly.....

The best farewell gift I got, when I left India..

It is our dreams that shape our destiny,
To achieve them, many times we have to mutiny..
We have to go to unknown lands,
And may be sing along with unknown bands..

Its all a part of the game, they say;
After all to win, you have to play.
As you try to reach out for the sky,
You have to leave something behind and fly..

There are too many things, you want to say..
Too little time..
It's perfectly fine my friend,
Its not a crime!!!

Standing at the terminal, ready to fly..
Don't look back now, don't even cry..
Waiting for you is the sky,
So go ahead and JUST FLY !!!

Thank you, Addu!!
It gives me inspiration whenever I am bogged down or feeling low.
Words sure are the healers. :)
The jerk had written this at the end - 'I send you my words instead of me. Hope you carry them with you.' Of course, I have them by my side always. Literally carrying them everywhere I go :)

Read his other poems as well. If it was not for hefty paychecks from the great Indian software firm and the only sign of a progressive man "the bear belly of course", he would have been a great writer and poet today!! :D
