Year 2007 And Me! Poem by Umasree Raghunath

Sometimes, some years become so strong
with the kind of tsunami's they shread all along
year 2007 is definitely of such a kind
for it had taken away with it my two best friends
I hardly recovered from their passing away
nor this year had anything special on its way
It was all huncky dory and fury in my bay
that hardly enjoyed spending this year in its ray
this year also had most of undefined sorrows
that neither could be exposed nor deposed
the year tested my relationship with myself
that withstood the test of time and tide
this year tested my tolerances on atrocities
of a silent kind that imbalanced my peace
this year gave me the toughest fight
that i put up a brave front in all its might
this year tested my physical strength
to withstand the professional battles
this year from the beginning to end
have given me enough tensions of all kind
I thank this year for the way it went
for tough times do never last
but tough people do
So would I withstand this time too
This year proved the mantle of peace is in my hand
that nothing can bring me peace except my self
This year I planned many things of all kinds
but had left some things unattended or completed
This year I gave up on few of my dearest thoughts
for i know for sure they would have differences alot
This year I wrote a book, the redefined myself
in the name of Never Say Quit, an self inspiration
Thanks to this year that came to a quick end
I am sure I would have a better 2008 as I rebegin
