You row your boat till you see the shore

It looks deceptively near,

But trust me you have to paddle more;

Panting,stressing you make it there

Thanking the Lord with a silent player.

All this has left your heart and soul a little bare

Looking for someone who will care;

From dusk to dawn, you are waiting for someone to arrive

Your time here is passing in strife.

Having realized that there’s no one who is going to come

You decide to take the big jump;

Taking the remains of your battered boat

You try to make something which stays afloat;

Embarking on a journey with a promise of no tomorrow

I know your mind is tensed and heart full of sorrow.

Somehow going forward with all your might

You suddenly spot a spark of light;

Waving signals,shouting and some more panting

Finally,on a boat and resting.

The past few days seemed all a blur

Nights going sleepless,hearing strange noises and murmurs;

Taking you a while to recover from what was your dream journey

Thanking people who saved you and gave you another day bright and sunny.

Remember the lessons which you’ve received

Life is not all what you perceived;

It can sometimes get upside down

But with good people around,

You’ll surely be able to make a touch down.
