The destiny is shaped well in advance <br />If is just chance <br />That we meet only once <br />To form permanent alliance <br /> <br />The question does not arise <br />But surprise <br />To us and many <br />That it was wish of an almighty <br /> <br />The sea was with us <br />With waves reminding trust <br />It formed our faith <br />And we promised hand till death <br /> <br />The wind threw us back <br />By few steps to stake <br />Claim on ground <br />The space newly found <br /> <br />You held me firmly <br />Like family <br />To remind me really <br />It was so simple but silly <br /> <br />I had shied away <br />But had found way <br />To face it bravely <br />And smilingly <br /> <br />Years have passed by <br />I recollect and try <br />To remember about what had happened <br />That day had bright shining sun<br /><br />hasmukh amathalal<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-had-shied-away/
