From the Depth of My Heart

I sat and pondered for a while;
 My pen would not move even with guile;

 Soon the page overflowed in ink;
 My pen raced along and thought in pink;

 My gratitude for everybody in my life filled the heart;
 Everybody had played their part;

The Creator, My parents , My family , My teachers and My friends , to everyone and everything in sight and yet unseen...
Wistfully I thought "Where indeed have I been?"

Present here every moment and yet absent;
Every moment quite well spent....

Tired,  after much writing, to see what I wrote;
To my surprise not a scratch on my note;

Truth struck me full in the face;
When a stranger tells me "Wipe your tears, they have wiped out everything....
