A second chance

Life takes its due course with time
People come and go, an inevitable change
Yet whenever i turn back or look ahead,
At times I fail to see you
Through all the struggles I’ve gone through,
You were always there and still are, right beside me
Guiding me to the right direction

When i lost faith in myself and any hope for the future
I chanted your name, a reason worth living
There have been several times when I escaped everything around me
And felt your warmth reassuring me

The world have always labelled me, pushed me
Yet you have only embraced me,
For a moment i forgot all the pain, experiencing bliss.
When i felt i couldn’t go on, scared and alone
I could feel your presence, you have always been there .

At every juncture you have shown me the way,
I can only give my life in your service
Your have given me boundless strength
To do whats right

Mother you have given me a second chance
My life is at your service.

    Many of us share your sentiments towards Amma. It is amazing how many of us Amma has saved.

    That was very refreshing. Thank you. It takes a lot of courage to post your soul. May Amma bless you as I know she got the poem before you sent it 🙂

    A spontaneous flow of very innocent feelings. Poetry is defined as spontaneous flow of Powerful feelings. But I strongly feel that Rini has changed that by her innocent feelings. Great. Amma is the solace and strength to younger generation. Let Amma’s blessings and grace be with all young people like Rini.
