When the beginning seemed difficult

You gave me the hand to support 

When I first came out of the house

You gave me the warmth and pacification in my new world 

When I struggled

You gave the strength to keep moving 

When I needed direction

You gave me the light 

When I stumbled

You didn’t let me crumble down 

When I learnt to stand on my own

You stood behind and motivated me 

When I had to come to a decision

You were there to help me out 

When I needed moral stamina

Your warmth rejuvenated me 

When I had to look up to someone after my family

I just found You 

What I am today has your efforts behind

My utmost respect, love and salute 

Thanks for making me what I am today !
