I Never Asked For Flowers Poem by Dr Harish Yadav

I never asked for flowers
to soften every mile,
nor for the trees to hold me
in their tender, passing smile.

I never asked the heavens
to spare me wind or flame—
for storms have carved my spirit,
and struggle gave it name.

Let not the road be easy,
nor every burden small;
just let my heart stay steadfast
whenever shadows fall.

For I was not made for comfort,
nor born to simply rest—
I ask only for the courage
to endure, and give my best.
