Time: You Are My Pedagogue

Dear Time,

You are so great'
I can not stop without
Praising your nobleness,
I venerate your grandeur.

Time,
Its not just because,
You are running with unstoppable pace
Its not just because,
You are powerful,
Its because, You are my pedagogue,
And I am your pupillage.

You have taught me
many lessons of the life,
so that,
I can walk without fear of
overhanging obstacles.
You have given me
Such a luminous light
So that,
I can see the glimpse of beauty,
You have given me
Such a tenacity, so that
I can cross the rivers of sorrow.
You have given me
Such a wings of felicity, so that
I can fly over the sea of grief.

Time,
You are really great'
Because of You,
I do not need to live
Being analphabetism,
Because of You ,
I do not need to live
Under the shed of fragility.

Time,
You are simply a nifty,
I will be learning
With you in every seconds of my life.
you will be following me
and I will be following you
in every stanza of my life.

In my screams, smiles, tears and faith,
My heartbeat, eyes and each of my breathe,
You will be there with me
In each of my steps.

Dear Time,
At last, I would say this,
Without your kindness,
I shall never be me!
Without your wish,
My cherished world
Would never be glorious like this.
