Compass For Life - A Poem

Today my Daughter Young MM wrote a beautiful poem about life during the pandemic in a jiffy. I was charmed by the poetic sense as she recited it in her lovely voice, again and again, to check if it sounded right. Looks like it rubbed on to me quite well. 

In an enchanted flow, I wrote my first Poem ever! Thank you Young MM, you are my literary Inspiration!

Compass for Life










How would one react if someone says,

that she draws inspiration from a "Compass"? 

I heard someone chuckle, what is there in a Compass?

But then I saw a whole world in that "word".

 

Be it for Sailor or a Mountaineer.

Or if you are lost in wood or road unknown,

Without a single tick on your mobile!

Pick up this age-old tool.

My friend, he will not let you down!

 

A Compass showed just one thing – Here’s the North!

Knowing this is all that matters,

I wish to be like that object,

And be sure of just one thing,

of being in the Right Direction!
