Last Advice

Till some months back,

I had someone to rely on for advice

When ever I felt short on gas to fight on

Or lost somewhere down the road

Confused to choose what next to do

Somehow, he used to see farthest path

And used to warn me to take action

Somehow, always I listened, never acted

Only to learn my faults through downfalls

He never were angry, just gave the nod to go on

Now, deep down inside I want direction

But feels helpless, emotionally drained sometimes

Yet there is something

I could take everywhere I go

Some words from the heart for me

From my dad

I never thought it would be for the last time

We will be discussing about future

Never thought it will be his last advice for me

Finally I learned, why he let me do the way I wanted

To learn the path to success from my own

To get the urge from my heart itself to fight on

From the falls and the pain that comes along with it

Many a time I blamed him for restricting me

Now I understand, why he did

Knowing me very well, he didn’t leave me alone

Gave me the advice of a life time

To get on with what ever I endure in

Never to give up on the midway as I always did

As the failures and setbacks are just round the corner

Don’t bother about it, keep working harder

One day you will succeed.

A last piece of advice for me
