1.
I successfully survived the accident,
Thanks to my good Karma in this life
Not in a previous one.
2.
In '09-10, I volunteered for the society,
Educating underprivileged kids and
Their parents too.
3.
Now I'm a successful professional,
Thanks to equitable opportunities
Available in Bháràŧà.
4.
I may have lost my golden years,
But I am in no way literally lost
In the competition.
5.
That accident triggered a cascade,
A chain of unfavourable events
In my family.
6.
My mother lost her knee caps,
Due to her efforts to bring me back
And long standing hours for that.
7.
My father broke his acetabulum,
When trying to save me from falling
While he retrained me.
8.
But I'm thankful to Bhàgàwán,
That both of them are alive
And I'm finally successful.
9.
I don't resent my destiny,
For costing me more than
A complete decade.
10.
My ordeal began on May 7, 2010,
When I landed inside the hospital
On my potential deathbed.
11.
But I knew that I must survive,
For my sentence is not yet over
Here on this planet.
12.
My spirit didn't depart that day,
Although I lost years & friends
Due to the accident.
13.
I didn't fall from Grace of the Lord,
Instead I was sent back with a mission
Amidst the humans.
14.
To teach the lesson of love,
Not through conversion
Or bloodshed.
15.
But through the words of wisdom,
Consideration, love, truth
And experience.
16.
Through these poems of decency,
Rhyme, structure, rhythm
And magic.
17.
The magic is love,
The structure is evident
And the rhythm is so divine.
18.
My parents smiling is my success,
The golden sheen of future
Is my redemption.
19.
In the end,
I speak to you, O Gauri,
You do realise that you're my future.
20.
To you I have promised,
The intensity and the
Love you deserve.
21.
Not short of words ever,
Not because of vocabulary
But because of my passion.
22.
The passion for my life,
The passion for my love
And my love is you.
23.
Never forget what you want,
I'm solely yours, darling,
Yes, you want me.
