Of the countless people, I feel deeply thankful to,
Here are a few I never forget,
To remember and appreciate.
On top of the list are my parents,
Who brought me to this world,
And helped me grow safely,
Into the person I have been.
Ever indebted to my teachers,
And elders of the family I am,
Who helped me evolve in ways,
More than I can enumerate.
Truly grateful I ever feel,
To all my friends and colleagues,
For being strongly supportive,
Whenever I felt weak and upset.
Fortunate it has been of me,
In having a wonderful family,
That gives me unconditional love,
Despite all my shortcomings.
I indeed owe deep gratitude,
To Mother Nature as well,
Who provides all living creatures,
What they need to survive and flourish.
And as the springhead of all blessings,
I bow to thee Almighty Lord!
For all that I have been given,
During this journey of life.
