 Picture Credit: Pankaj Tottada I am a rower Living by my boat Paddling through life, Wading through the waters Sometimes rough, sometimes smooth I carry people as my own Some on the shore, some lost in the water I take them to safety To the far bank ashore I carry them with care, Listening to their stories Cherishing every moment together I row against the current Against wind and storm alike To carry people as my own.. When I leave them ashore Some bid a fond farewell Some just give me a smile Some nod and go on their way And some never look back But I do what I do best And go back to the waters With thoughts like ripples, Many people I meet Yet I am always alone As no one stays behind. I am a lonely rower Paddling through life Without a shore to reach As the ripples ebb away I retreat into the sunset After a hard day’s work. Team
