My Diary and Me

                                                      Rahul Balike
                                                    2019A3PS0189P


                                            Vanilla’s scent and yellowed page
                                            Bely wisdom, experience and age

                                               Yet the strong feel of its line
                                              A disparate picture do outline



                                        The diary has no voice that it does possess
                                           But it shouts out a story of mine esse

                                       Onset with words dirty, crooked and childish
                                    Turning the pages unto letters, graceful and stylish



                                          A work of routine, diligence and effort
                                     These leather-bound sheets have grown in import

                                             Prying a road deep into my heart
                                         Telling to open to all lessons life impart

                                         It always teaching and I always learning


                                      We weather together through the river of time

                                            Ever greater, evermore, ever mine.
