Standing By Poem by Khirod Dalpati

STANDING BY

At last the time has come
After walking a long way,
I'll be standing by the road
As you'll tread along the way.
What can I do - but just wishper
In your ears - all the best.

As you'll climb upon the life's path
I'll keep a stone in my heart,
I'll keep on standing by the road
And just be gazing at you
Climb up to the top most height.

I'll sit beside the lonesome path
Hoping you would give me a glance
As you would walk by.
I'll shed my precious tears
Thinking of seeing you just once.

My precious moments will be spent
Trying to gather the messages
From every breeze that would
Come from the south - and gently
Pass by me, informing me
Of the day of your return.
