Self



My self

 Do I have the strength to take on my self?
Question so deep like sea shelf
 It has bothered me always
As I could not properly guess

If someone really wants to know
How have I managed with river flow?
I should have remained grateful
For their being so thankful

 Yet there is an urge from within
 It depends on how I assess and win
 How much I have an ability to withstand
 This will shape destiny for others to understand

 I may not exactly know
About person with whom I want to go
The calm water sometimes prove illusory
That really makes me to feel so sorry

 I have limitations to go through
To face the situation really tough
It was likely to cause confusion
Yet I faced no such compulsion

What an ordinary man to reveal?
When he has nothing to conceal
Life is crystal like water
To prove sincere one need not act as hater

I shall not be able to speak
As I have proved weak
Yet ground has proved firm

Only I have stand tough and confirm

I hold technical qualification like Diploma in Radio/engineering .I have done English and Hindi stenography as well. I had mastered the art in Morse telephony too. I am associated with several welfare organizations and served long time as Union leader too. I am at present working as hobby writer. I write poems on various subjects and invite suggestions from all the quarters. I have written one memoir named “As I see it” and ready for publication. One interesting part of writing I would love to share with all my reader friends. I am not sure weather it may be the same case with all as I do not want to be caught in any controversy. When I sit on my personal computer, there is absolutely no thought in mind as to what is to be picked up as thought and written. These all things I leave it to the discretion of almighty to fill my mind with relevant ideas. So far I have been graced by Him and as result able to compose about 4000 poems. I have be awarded with 4 achievement award from the www.ezinearticles.com for successfully meeting with their standard.
