Sans Ambition One Will Be Nowhere! Poem by Ramesh T A

Sans ambition, I could not have become what I am today!
I had the zeal to write and become a writer one day then;
But soon after education, I was inducted into family business
And later became a family man with no time to write ever!

It was so from 1972 to 1981 due to my involvement in business;
From 1981 to 1989 family occupied my time and other works!
For 17 years, I was in wilderness not able to do what I love to do
And spontaneously expressed my feel in a poem to my friend...!

The poet in me came out that way and through the advice of
My dear friend, I started to write poetry whenever possible as
A diary writer at first and patched up the lines written therein
Into some poems quite meaningful to my great amazement..!

After 17 years nobody will try to go on a line one was dreaming!
It is due to my ambition and its zealous drive I have at last turned
Into an English poet to write poems to publish two books at first by
My own efforts in the Print Form, the most difficult job for anyone!

But I never stopped the urge to write as I wished and went on writing;
Thanks to Computer Internet coming into vogue, I have published
All of my writings on various world wide websites by the end of 2007
Starting from 2005 with a little learning to operate computer box well!

Then from 2008 daily I have started to write poems after poems and
I have become a World English Poet getting recognition and awards
Locally and internationally to my great wonder and joy unknown
Before in my life and my name will live through my writings ever....!
