It was a big surprise that this poem was chosen as ''Poem Of The Day''..I had no idea that when I penned the story of my humble beginning through poetry, a community of great minds would've chosen it as poem of the day. Thanks to all of you great poets who gave it your honest thoughts or expressed you likes and dislike, you all I appreciated!

Very nice. Paying back what you have received with hard work. Life is like that. You have to keep balance sheet zero when it is time to depart. Liked it. Congratulations for poem of the day.

It is thanks to the humble beginning as well as the background which brought the ultimate satisfaction to the protagonist. Hence, the credit goes 'To poverty, a real caveat for my struggle' Thanks a lot.
Rich flow of thought. A well texted and nicely thought-out poem. It touched my heart. Thanks for sharing Ivan and do remain blessed.
Thanks Chinedu, you've always made me feel like I'm almost there.
