That Drop From the Sky

Few Drops from the sky
Like to join a stream
May trickle down the earth
Or vanish in thin air

The journey of life
Know not where you land
Think not of the end
You may never begin

Dream to reach where
You want to end
Take the path
Fear not where you begin

I wish to be that drop
Herald the onset of rain
Seek not any gains
Soothe other’s inner pains

If not reach the goal I choose
I will be the road
Make doable for others
To reach my end

I love the kindness you express for others in your poem, Suresh. We could use more people who wish to help alleviate the pain of their fellow man. A very moving poem that speaks so highly of your compassionate nature. Love, Carolyn
