BEST WISHES

And finally it happened
what we all were waiting for
as the man with a keen sense of timing
came out with a beautiful piece of rhyming

it had been coming for some time now
we only wondered when and how
and then on a very significant day
he acknowledged his awakening in the most beautiful way

but in this day of happiness and joy
lets for some time set the end aside
and visit those old journey days
for its been a roller coaster of a ride

for those who want to know
how it started when and where
let me say what records wont show
that the flame has always been there

the road that led had some turns
but all the suffering was not in vain
for when at last the destination reached
it was worth every bit of the pain

the lips weren't allowed to leak a line
when to those who could see eyes told the story
the words that came out were i m fine
but the faces did little to hide the worry

along the way it brought some tears
took away the smile that she so gracefully wears
when silent confession met staunch denial
it was certainly a time for trial

it seemed to be over when in front of my eyes
they appeared to say their last goodbyes
trying so desperately to drown their sorrow
in whatever little time they could borrow

but then its said that there is a god
his ways far greater than yours or mine
from the shadows of this big dark cloud
came out the bright morning sunshine

for them its time for a new beginning
to enjoy life in its full meaning
all this friend of theirs wants to say
that you ll alwys have my best wishes.
