Bon voyage

Walk the paths I have trodden
I have tested it only for you
Tread on the paths with softened care
Roses and thorns lie strewn everywhere
Fear not to tread on the impaling thorns
Nor be happy to step on the tempting roses
Learn to stride all paths just the same
Indifferent to happiness and sadness

Be not fatigued by the voyage run
Nor be weary of the steps yet ahead
Cherish the life’s race in humble stride
And look back in candid thankfulness
For its just once to run the life’s race
With the choice of two roads to take
Do not falter in the choices you make
You cannot undo the journey done

Grapple the storms mired to stall your way
Stand up to temptations leading you astray
Tread on with the eloquence of a flowing river
for the cherry blossoms of the happy ending sail
The reflections of your emblazoned dreams
shall render me the endless reasons to smile
to grace your footprints in the sands of time
Bon voyage, my sons, may you tread on my dreams well
