I stand here contemplating my future

The way ahead is perilous and tricky

Going back was never an option for me

I deal with my journey, one step at a time

The same as I deal with life, one day at a time

Growing up

It is time to step out of the nest

That first hesitant step in the world

To stand on my own feet without the support

Of those nurturing and protecting hands

I may not be ready but I still have to try

I may not be big enough to fend for myself

But I will try, as it is my instinct to be independent

Hello world, I hope you will welcome me kindly!

I hold the torch high in my hand

Come follow me for I know the way

The night is dark, the path unknown

But I have courage, so follow my footsteps

.

.

.

Don’t follow the leader blindly

Always use your own judgment to

Discern what is right and wrong

Don’t trust blindly not without faith

That look on her face

Held me spellbound, mesmerized

Never had I seen such serene, calm contentment

Who is she, I asked

She lives by herself in the village

All by herself, no family to call her own

Then what is the secret of this happiness

That shines through her bright eyes

Or reflects on her lined face, I ask

She helps without being asked

She gives even when has little

She loves even if not loved back

They said

Ah, a secret to a contented life, I say to myself
