Dear Daughter



I know your exams are near,
Look my dear, never get anxious in fear
Peak your effort, face it with a winning heart
Even if you fail, continue to sail
On the path to success a fall is just a tiny nail

At times the life challenges can make you confused
Deter not from your path, stay hyper focused
Academic grade, doesn't mean you are fully assessed
Limitations of school scores shouldn't keep you discouraged
Exams of known knowledge miss to see your genius baggage

Failure isn't final but never consider it as an option,
Failure, a step forward in the winning direction
Men of success aren't created by examination
Winners always come from self-determination
Dear, you are the owner of an amazing mind of innovation

I'm none to show you the path to transformation
Make the world as your school of information
Men of service to fellow men are created by education
For a giant leap, learning is a preparation
Grow with the evergreen skills of creativity, compassion and adaptation

Develop an unsatisfactory hunger for knowledge
Be kind but stay with courage
You are unique, never settle for average
Grow on this earth as a human of worth in every stage
Wrapped up in warmth this is your father's message

You are the golden star, the rising Sun
Now it's the time for your colourful rays to run
I'm the departing moon
Eagerly watching your brightness bloom.

    Wow, ajai brother. Really a very meaningful message to present generation and all those who have faced hardship in life's. Also it gives clear understanding that only studies doesn't make any person successful in life but ones own determination and dedication lead them to succeed in life. It's truly a eye opener and motivational poem to all age groups. Keep delivering great compositions in future too. Congratulations and wish you all the best.
