I am now an orphan <br />for my parents both <br />have left the earth <br />to continue the journey of life <br />i am left behind <br />to fulfill my purpose of birth <br />from upon the shore <br />i could see the waves <br />coming to touch my feet <br />that i may have the strength <br />to lift myself <br />from every obstacle which i meet <br /> <br />the clouds over the horizon <br />comfort my mind <br />and to give me the courage to fight <br />the gift of inspiration my father <br />give to me act as my shield <br />and my light <br />i must walk without fear <br />and prepare to meet the future <br />to create a new enlighten path <br />one where humanity will find <br />the freedom to escape <br />this bondage to come together <br />and not fall apart <br /> <br />the enriched discipline <br />my mother pass on to me <br />i will always carry as my shield <br />that the goodness i sow <br />upon this soil <br />will an abundance of fruit yield <br />to knock on the doorway of patience <br />i will persevere like the birds <br />after the wind in the sky <br />i will not forsake the principles <br />which she taught me <br />though the mirage of untruth <br />may cross mine eye <br /> <br />to find comfort with the birds <br />and butterflies will help <br />to remove any sorrow <br />as i leap to reach over every mountain <br />with my knowledge and faith <br />to envision a brighter tomorrow <br />the memories of my childhood <br />will keep me awake <br />in the time of old age <br />for the treasure of wisdom <br />i leave behind <br />will be in tribute <br />to my father <br />who lived like a sage.\n\nsookdeo manansingh manansingh<br /><br />https://www.poemhunter.com/poem/in-tribute-to-a-sage/
