I stared at you endlessly,

Clueless as I can be.

Watching you smile from the other end,

Thoroughly confused and distracted me.

This should've been a team play,

My blurry mind repeated all along.

You erased those thoughts by saying - 

“Just smile and sing a song.”

Walking towards you was a feat,

And this bridge a long trip.

Not once did you relent ever,

Never did you change your quip.

And then it struck me,

What you aimed to teach.

You are a true master,

One who’s always out of reach.

I rush over to embrace you,

And surprisingly you do too.

What seemed like a lifelong journey,

Was indeed a fun party you threw.

Some dread you, others even cry,

But you say - “Continue the faith.

Zest is what it takes to overcome,

Not misery and never-ending wraith.”

I hold you close and whisper,

“Hardships were and will always be rife,

But don't you worry because,

You are my one and only life.”
