As a child I wanted to fly
Be like a star in the sky.
Youth dawned with aspirations anew
Towards my dreams onwards I flew.
Dealt with failure and basked in success
Learnt to survive in strife and stress.
Higher the post, more the duties
Made me aware of new responsibilities.
Came to know where my contemporaries stand
Some tried to topple some gave helping hand
Though the journey was sometimes ardous
It was satisfying and felt worth the efforts.
I climbed the ladder towards my dreams
Reached for the stars which now became mine
Nothing is difficult now it seems
In the light of wisdom, I rise and shine.
