he taught us to walk...

He is our forever inspiration,

A guiding light,

An amazing personality,

All so that he could give his children a better and brighter life,


A professor of many skills,

Not just students he taught,

Not just values he taught,

Not just ethics he taught,

A way of life was brought into existence,

A way which he taught his children to walk on,

To carry on his legacy.


For he is still teaching us to walk on the ways of life,

Even though he isn’t with us,

His glow, his smart mind, his ideologies,

His methods are all still with us.


This is the day that a superhuman was brought into the world,

Three sons had bloomed,

Two more as well,

Because he knew that educating a man educates a family,

But when a girl is educated,

She will move on to show those that she taught a better way of life.


A pious man at heart, who said that fate will always show the way,

He knew that the truth would always prevail,

Therefore he stayed away from those with immoral values.

Although he was made a lecturer,

His heart and soul adhered to the concepts of business.

He wanted to study the Upanishads and attain eternal peace,

Alas, he could not do so as he reached the foot of god early.


He taught us to walk,

He taught us to shine,

He taught us to be optimistic,

He taught us to never miss opportunities,

He taught us to walk,

The true path of life and success was shown,

When he came into this world….
