One By One Poem by sookdeo manansingh manansingh

I have reached the shoreline of my birth
like a golden moon in the fulness of growth
i am uninterested of going further
for my dream have been achieved
today in celebration of my victory
it's an honor for me to receive

For the sacrifice and patience
i use to shield my cross
i am tired and weary
of the many battles
i fought and didn't loss
like a mirror
to see the many waves of desires
which pass through my mind
one by one
in mindfulness of my vision
i kept faith as one who was blind

with the weapon of the word
i conquered the enemy of time
to succeed
in the emptiness of my heart
i find peace and happiness
in time of need
i look forward when the burden upon my shoulder
will be cleared of all pain
to cross this ocean of life
with it's many mirage of temptations
in silence i gain

above every mountain
i find a cloud of hope
to comfort my soul
to bring me the gifts of inspiration
and to share with humanity
what i love in this world
the light of my life
will merge to become one
with all the stars of the night
oh children of this great land
go in pursuit of knowledge
and continue to fight.
