That's How I Remember You Poem by Sandeep Mishra

Born in mediocrity, left to struggle
Unfair life blessed nothing but tussle

Neither the best of clothes, nor the trendy toys
Was never meant for them, but couldn't help wishful eyes

Born are some with silver spoon
Lady Luck despised me, I realized soon

Who wants those riches readymade?
Unceasing toil, perseverance and hope was all it takes

Been there, done it all, but yet so far
Almost arrived but never crossed the success bar

Let bygones be bygones
And I was only made to take it head on

Events after events, the years passed by
Tryst with the odds was yet to pacify

Hope also has a tipping point
All along was despair, gloom and disappoint

Conceded to destiny, I quit
But then life is never easy to predict

Life took a U-turn
Happiness at the ebb was about to return

You made my heart skip a beat
And I realized I still exist

You chirped, you poked, brought life to galore
Rescued from the rut, my elements were on the fore

I deserved the best, I got the best
'Marry Me Please', was my only request

Your eyes, your smile, about to kill
Music to my ears, 'Yes I Will, Yes I Will, Yes I Will'
