I Have A Dream Poem by Bishnupada Sethi

I have a dream 
None urged me to nurture
Though some people told
I should have a goal.
They considered it is worth 
And I have the abilities 
They saw in me.

With no one around 
And to emulate,
Yet from whatever I assimilated,
If I were to be of any use
To help the distressed 
And satisfy my inner-self
I must attain the dream.

The path was unknown and 
There was little guide.
Somewhere deep in my heart 
I had steely strength 
And prayers poured forth 
Each time I stood before an idol 
Let my only wish be fulfilled.

I faltered many a times 
To rise up again while 
A distant beacon made me restless,
Endeavoured to gather strength,
Started to look for the right path.

Miles and miles,
Across the places,
Over the time 
My journey continues 
Till I'm there
I ought to be.
