Teacher, A Parameter Of Life. Poem by Mahesh Kumar Mahapatra Mahesh

I was a baby bird of this wild world
Wavering and dreading like a timid.
You gave me comfort with your warm light
Supported me to stand strong and becon me to walk.

As a candle you lightened my life,
facing the pain of darkness.
I was just like the clay lie beside the bay
Putting all your efforts, you gave me a fashion.
And made this useless clay as a great icon.

Now you are obsolete and old
by holding me the handle of life
I'm riding newly in the way of this world
by following all your lessons line by lines.
still Realising how painful your absent is!

My heart is not a heaven yet I've kept you in
I'm trying my best to fulfill your aspiration.
Your shining flame that you've put within
Like a priceless gold, it will glisten.
