My Lesson Poem by mamutty CHOLA

All those whom I always consideredas my own, left me
One by one in my hours of crisis like an unknown strangers

I was terribly wrong in my assessment that they were mine,
I have learned a lesson very hard way bytrusting blindly

I have since learned lesson at heavy cost in life,
No matter, however, I will never give up hopes

Keep my struggle on, I am reminded of my father's advice
He told me once, if I trust people either I will get a good friend else a good lesson

The message from sea waves tell me, never give up
Action is life, inaction is death, see the waves and its struggles

To cross over but each time go back with firm determination to return
The wavesstruggles are on since time immemorial and still on

Sea waves have always been my inspiration and role model
I am determined to be creator of my own destiny hence forth.
