I know I can win it


I know I can win it

I came to this world not knowing my cards,
but I knew I had a power which goes beyond words,
I witnessed the silence of mountain
I witnessed the rivers flowing with ferocious velocity,
And I could capture all of them with my sheer curiosity,

I was a tryer , few things went right, many went wrong,
Amid the looming clouds of desperation I was strong,
When nature tested me against mighty tornados and flood,
I showed my never say die spirit and fought till my last blood,

I never could understand the meaning of limitation,
Guess it was something out of some coward's imagination,
Even if God tried to snatch from me any kind of activity,
A Curie among me managed to invent radio activity,
When God tried to deprive me of my senses,
A Hawking among me explain working of something beyond Earth fences,

I rose from ashes, I never allowed someone to say what I couldn't do,
When they said I would not be able to walk, I showed them and even flew,
I always kept aside all the curses and counted just the boon,
Trouble often found my Armstrong, one fought the cancer, other went to Moon,
Whenever challenges asked me any question I raised my head and nod,
I worked with childlike spirit and fought against each n every odd,

From start I learned the language of love and friendship,
I knew the value of faith and respected every relationship,
I loved selflessly as mother to my son,
I prioritize someone else's life as a father,
I loved my friends passionately and platonically,
The home of love with the bricks of trust shaped fantastically

Now I am bit falling apart and bit tired,
I am seeing this destruction and my brothers being fired,
But I know for sure and I always will keep this candle of faith lit,
I am a survivor and my heart says I know I can win it,
My doors are where the optimism always knocks,
This earth is my love and this is where human being Rocks !!
