What a wonderful stay

What a wonderful stay
I learnt, u made way for me to grow,
you held the light high to make the path glow
Committed errors, repeated them,
still you patted on my back,
telling “I trust you”
I learnt to win, never to lose,
learnt that all is achievable
learnt to apply myself what may come

I gained courage from you,
in the moments of despair
I garnered knowledge from you,
in the blank moments
I learnt to trust and believe
with you holding my hand in narrow lane.

It's time to fly away,
the nest you built was cozy and I felt safe
but it's time to discover new lands
I am not a brat, just a kid learning to grow up
it's not a revolt..but application of your thought

Let me go as I will learn to be safe,
let me go as your ideals are deep in me
Let me go to apply it
where I am out of the comfort zone
I am away from your safe hands
learning to follow my mentors’ path
learning to be like you...

Things I lost, Things I gained...

How was my stay?
I asked to my self,
Was it bright, was it dark, or may be grey?
Puzzled as I am always,
started pondering,
penning it down,
cause words define me, define my thought,
define my soul..

Ah ha! I had good time..
I found you all, n we became friends,
and some friend came close..
touched my life, heart n soul
What fun! what joy!
That "official break"
we all wait for n enjoy..

Yes I gained, not only you,
but plenty of fodder for my brain,
enriched by this new experience,
though I got hurt at times,
but at times I gained...

It was worth to be part of this,
part of you all,
part of some beautiful hearts,
reason for some heart burns,
and off course some heart breaks...

And did I lost something,
yes lost myself,
to a waste cause..
but that’s what I always do,
get carried away, get lost,
and then discover my self again,
to ask this question,
Is it worth, what was the gain?

Comparing both the parts,
I decided to quit!
to discover to tread again,
some other unknown path,
to get the answers again..

You all won't be there,
in this new quest of mine
but you will always be with me,
Cause you are what I gained...
