Looking back in time
Twenty one years seem just
A Flash;
Joys, Sorrows, Love, Friendships,
All in my memory
Compressed.

Walking down the memory lane
Happy memories—
Intoxicate.
The moments of pain—
Pierce through my heart
Like nails.

Recalling the happy memories,
Gives me the strength to endure—
The moments of crisis;
To count my blessings
And express enough gratitude
To you— my Lord.
