Do not remind me of all those dark moments that came my way
in life
When I couldn’t tell whether what lay in my path was a
mountain or a valley
Don’t show me any of those wounds that you are carrying with
you
Whose depths will never allow me to even try to cross over
the gorges they created
Don’t take me to any of those moments of helplessness
wherever they are
That bring tears to my eyes whenever I return to them or
they come back to me
Don’t show me any of those destinations that I once longed
to reach
That wait eagerly for me today while I have turned my back
towards them
Don’t talk to me about those boundaries that life confined
me into all along
That bind my feet in chains and don’t allow me to move
ahead, in fact anywhere
Don’t read out to me those lines of destiny
That make me wonder how life can be so harsh to anyone after
all
If you can, please help me gather all those beautiful
moments
That bring happiness with them whenever they come back to me
Show me all those smiles that people brought to me and I
brought to them
Take me back to all the moments when life treated me like a
princess
Turn with me to all those horizons where sunrises and
sunsets came together
Look up with me into the heart of the sky, to thank the
twinkling stars
But for whom, I could have lost my way in the darkness of
the night so easily
Hold with me, the falling raindrops that wash away
uncertainty with them
Walk with me on the banks of those rivers that carry life
and conviction with them
Let me hold the hand of the person who loves me more than I
do
Who held my hand in the toughest of times
Who stood between me and all those people, moments and
memories that hurt me
Help me find the right words to thank him from the core of
my heart
Remind me of those successes of my life which I couldn’t
have lived without
That lie over and above the failures that at the most only
frustrate me
Lend me for a moment the lamp that will help me read the
Tenderness with which the Divinity has written my Destiny
after all
Saddled with the burden of unsung achievements and
unfulfilled dreams
I tell myself as I begin a new journey, towards a new life
In search of happiness, in search of peace, in search of a
horizon ,
In search of myself….
