The sources of life keep me alive,
Uncertain paths lie ahead, for I’m still a young soul.
Sometimes I feel lost, like a little boat.
I met a breeze, gentle and wise,
Whispering renewal, I felt revived.
They promised to shield me, to grant my heart’s desire.
and always wanted to keep me safe,
I failed to see the fire of duty burning bright within me,
I had to learn and grow, just like a tree.
It’s a big job, but I can do it, you see!
The importance of life, I could not grasp,
The burden my parents bore, or the passage of time.
But then you arrived, a guiding light,
Illuminating my path through the darkest night.
You helped me see the world in a new way,
Like a bright star on a cloudy day.
I am grateful to you, the source of my life’s wisdom,
Guiding me gently towards the path where true delight rests.
To Rinku Ma’am, the Light of My Learning,
