The Kid in ME..Plays Still...

As I do it for ME 

Triumphing over all odds, 

Making the way clear,

I am the Warrior Lady.. 

I gallop miles 

With the sword of determination and the shield of wisdom, 

I conquer the moments and 

Treasure them to memories for millennium. 

And then comes my way a countryside so serene. 

I pull the leash hard on time and 

Get down often

To feel the dew on grass barefoot. 

As I walk by the river and look into, 

I see ME as someone stranger 

She speaks too... 

"Hey, why do you carry this sword?" 

B'coz, I have to move ahead. 

So, I need to kill. 

"Why do you carry a shield if you kill?" 

B'coz, I keep ME protected to kill. 

She laughs and splashes the water on me and says, 

"Move ahead...kill me...else protect yourself". 

Where did she go?? 

There she is...hiding behind the rippled curtain of water 

And there she goes again as I jump to catch her. 

Hide and Seek she plays Naughty as a kid, 

Innocent as baby. 

She doesn't understand I don't have time, 

But still I stop by. 

Soaked with tears, memories dripping off, 

I come up the river and walk towards my way. 

I saddle up Time and with the Sword & Shield 

I gallop again to Kill and Protect.

Nostalgic

As I walked on the pavement...View fog-laden,

I could see a glimpse of the future.

As the glass doors spread arms to hug,

I stumbled and fell to set the pride low

and found humility there below.

As the day marked the start of a journey

I remember it with each of its moments as

blessed, enriched, and glorious.

On the completion of 3 successful years in my Company.
