Tears of the Ocean
His smile gives strength to others
His path pave ways for the pathless
He is a strong Man
When He speaks; others listen
When he moves; others follows his path
And pain comes; He stands strong
I asked him a question the last time we met
Why are you always strong?
He said;
“Because i’m an ocean; the source of many rivers,
Whom many depend on for direction “!

I think within myself and wondered’
Don’t he has his dark moments?
Why do people depend on him for direction?
Where does his source come from ?
As these thoughts were going within me
He walked up to me ;
“ I have my dark moments too and also
weaknesses but all these can lead Others wrong.”
He continued: “ when I cry
I look at my myself and think so little of myself but;
The only thing that keep me strong is
The rivers that draw from me
I am a source to many!
