How Proud I Feel! Poem by Abhishek Shah

How should I say, with lyrical words or letter in prose?
How happy I feel, to see you bloom from a bud to a rose.

How can I express, those moments of night?
When I saw you alone, standing up and putting a fight.

Not single life you lived, you lived a life of two,
love and reason both you own, wise in what you do.

Sleepless nights, self induced highs, a myriad of emotions together.
Embraced them all, escaped from none; you found yourself forever.

Was it all work and no play? I'm sorry I beg to differ.
Today when they ask, 'what is life? ' It is you whom I always refer

Friends all make, few retain but you are the one whom all will cherish.
Live out your heart, smile till your eyes and see how all pain will perish!

It started as a dream, became an ambition and now it is a success.
A journey etched into the mind, engraved by joy and happiness.

Will it be same for all? I doubt; even if the zeal would be held by few!
And prove me wrong, if anyone can, for all know that none can be like you.

A worthy experience, a commendable achievement, yet no less no more; a life little out of ordinary.
Yet you found, that joy and tears, that surge of adrenaline with trace of boredom, to make it extraordinary.

A small expression from the plethora I take, to present your story in words.
A story that brings smile, motivates and ignite; be free and fly like a bird!

I pray almighty, 'Listen to my plea'! I kneel,
Lend me the words, to tell you how proud I feel..
