Gratitude

Sakshi's avatarI Refuse To Give Up

When you replay your life
Like a motion picture
And sit back like a spectator

Left it’s impression
To ever last

I bow down in gratitude
To the ones who chose to
Make me a tiny part
Of their journey
And allowed me to have them
As an integral part of mine

For in the world of
billions of humans
If You and I touched
each other’s soul
Then it must be
Universe‘s plan
