PART 2 of " A TEAR OF FAILURE" :-

What was that shiny thing sliding down and down...
up and down past every freckle and frown....
like a snake on a desert so thin and sleek
aah!! but its a tear, trickling down my rosy cheek!!

what lay behind that tear

remains in my mind, to date, fresh and clear....
you were a figure so tall and bold,
and to you i was more than a pot of gold!!.
which , with utmost care and devotion, you tried to mould...
your hand so big and warm,
clutched my little finger with care and charm..

you showed me those far away hills,

i should reach them you said, and it still drills..
the path was long, it bore thorns and flowers..
you said it all thrills,
it was like climbing the tallest towers..
sheer joy in you, it fills.

we plopped into the endless fields,
and here you taught me to harvest the crop..
never once letting my hand drop
you showed me, when i cried, the beautifully colourful fair,
for you didn't want me to sit in solitaire..
you bought me those shining glass bangles,
just to see them reflect my priceless giggles...

you wanted me to walk my talk
and at others, i never wanted to mock...
you wanted me to give others a warm smile,
and i wanted to help them walk another mile...
you wanted me to give others all that's best
and i wanted to care not whats the rest...
you wanted me to wipe every dropping tear,

and i wanted to drive out their every monstrous fear...
you wanted me to play, for life is a game,
and i wanted to earn u great name and fame...
you wanted me to spread all round me, the purest of love,
and i wanted to love you, my treasure trove...

my little feet have trotted the path you've shown,
under your love and protection, I've grown...
a blossoming flower... away I got blown!!
should I cry at your loss?? or just moan?

I've walked half up the hill, always at your heel,
where do i stand now?? lost and lonely i feel!!
I'm still your dear little pup,
your lessons have filled just half my cup!!

To god I pray,

and thus begin my everyday..
hoping one day, safe u'll return.....
this desire of mine.........it'll always burn!!!
