I looked back
To find nothing at stake
It was time that played
For which I was dismayed
Time did not wait
I fought against fate
Survived cruelty
With the blessings from almighty
I still remember
And offer
My gratitude with thanks
Who helped me to think?
It was never a puzzle
I need not struggle
Friends stood by in real need
I too had no such greed
Today I am at zenith
Life may, at any time, finish
I have at least one satisfaction
I have enjoyed human relation
There was no poor or rich
Still without that feeling, I could reach
At the peak
With all that feelings to speak
