Strong Will and Firm Resolution--By Aju Mukhopadhyay--India

Strong Will and Firm Resolution

Daydreaming

Riding on a robust horse

Strong vital force

Will unwavering

Takes you to the distant shore

To the sky height unforeseen before

Though it’s often abandoned

Dried on the road

Ideas dying in the bud

Falling with a thud;

Dreams flowering here and there

Dry without base as they appear.

Unlike a dido if it’s a real dream

It’ll make you leader in life’s stream.
