Believe me <br />I know nothing <br />Even I am not sure <br />Would I be able to inhale <br />One more puff of O2 <br /> <br />Yet I want to tell you <br />What I just saw in a wakeful dream <br />I am 40 <br />Still wearing the same old shoes <br />Hair are falling <br />Like autumn is knocking at my door <br />I talk little and look prudent <br />An old beggar passes by <br />Reminds me of something <br />Which a similar fellow told me <br />When I was 20 <br /> <br />Kamran! <br />You never listen to anyone <br />But I am here to tell you <br />That your presence in this world <br />Has made some difference <br />I know you have had been thinking <br />To quit this abode full of dissonance <br />But I beg you <br />Please never give up <br />Till your last breath <br /> <br /> <br />April 17,2009<br /><br />Dr Kamran Haider Bukhari<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/ten-years-later-2/
