Power Of Determination Poem by Gautam Sen

Fortitude of mind can do any miracle
as a testimony, here’s an example.
A lady I know who’s full of willpower
proving her wonderfully a match for the hour.
Married a person, a man of numerous worth,
as a housewife in her family, she too gave childbirth.
Notwithstanding this fact, she had some hidden hopes,
to bloom as an erudite, waiting for the scopes.

She felt a need within for developing sense
to make her life to grow with modern relevance;
power of knowledge that she wanted to achieve,
to educate herself, more and more to perceive.
A decade of efforts brought her graduation
with her own daughter taking examination,
with this enviable quality of her mind
she gathered her degrees with the time she could find.

Higher education paved her path to the top,
In her carrier, as a professor she stopped.
Reverences she earned from all she came across
brought her self-made life a pure satiating gloss.
Thus a mother or a wife could prove by own life
with seeds of her sweet will she forced out all big strife.
Her visions and her goals were put to final shape
with great strength of mind. She never tried to escape.

This old lady – a septuagenarian
has proved her worth as a learned companion.
For all her kith and kin she set an example –
her conviction knew hurdles how to dismantle.
She’s a proud possession for her grown up offspring –
bringing success within self, tuning her life’s string.
This fighting spirit of her may show others a mean
to fulfill cherished dreams not letting them go unseen.
