Two Decades Of Life And Counting (3/3)

Class 10 at 15 called for a personal mobile phone,

Messaging packs with 3k messages a month were newly shown!

Waiting for a reply for several minutes and sometime even hours,

Board exams came and went by quick,

Someone old, yet very new was introduced in her life's leaflet!

A new bond she began to share,

That included love, best-friendship, possessiveness and care!

Began with departure of best-friend to another school,

Sad, unhappy, she felt alone,

But the bond they shared was much more stronger it seemed,

When her best friend came back to the same old school and together they wept!

Sweet 16 birthday bash was celebrated in the United States,

Far away from home as a junior in high school with new mates!

Skyping with family and best friend became a routine,

International calling was done as if local  town calling!

Homecoming after half a year was a grand affair,

Thousands of new things to talk upon and share,

Family's love, mom made food and best-friends reunited

Year 17 and class 12 were spent in bliss with the people she loved!

A one week tour for full class was arranged,

This last year of being together was captured in clicks!

Mixed emotions of leaving those,

With whom you’ve spend major time of life,

But a forever promise to keep all the promises made ,

Straight from the heart everybody with tears laid!

Birthday 18th had put a beautiful necklace around,

Far flung from another country to a small town.

Moving out for studies, and life of hostel were not that easy,

Getting a girl as best companion made her journey cozy.

Unlimited fun, regular studies and day out with friends ,

Major missing of best friend made her busy on calls and whatsapp trends.

The new city welcomed her with two road accidents,

Which again put her and two friends on bed with broken legs and bands.

Year 19 had a complete different story to tell,

Several years long Relationship fell apart,

Career paced up real slow,

This  all was something less I guess,

Another accident, collapsed her in bed for half a year, indeed a bad one thou!

She cried, she fell apart, went into depression,

Those she needed forever the most,

No longer were there to even ask how she is ,

In her highs or lows!

But God does it all,

He has sent some amazing ones  to her life this time,

Without whose support it wasn’t possible for her to live or survive.

Her parents' support helped her regain her willpower,

To stand once again, to dream once again and try to fall again never!

Year 20th of life, twenty-sixteen,

was the beginning of a new decade of her life,

with memories to cherish,

with wounds to heal,

with dreams to pursue,

with goals to achieve!

To all that has already been,

To all that will ever be,

She will stand up and fight back,

Because,

God is always there to show you the way when you fall!
