A Letter To Sir Isaac Newton

Living without a father wasn’t a good fate
This in the future could bring about immense hate
But this did not stop your talent and purpose
Although you were a premature baby
This would not stop your mental development 
Your curiosity became a spark to go beyond the norm

Your best friend was the truth
You needed to know the reality of something
Based on scientific truth
In calamity, you found the unity of purpose
In pain, you found the truth
In the pandemic, you found the light of lights
You showed us that during darkness light can be found!

You were a spiritual man
You were a man of science but also a man of faith
You were a man of destiny and 
You showed us that there is more to life and that 
Your upbringing does not determine your stream in life!
