THE JOURNEY
- Imran
Law is not a desirable destination,
for many its a stumbling;
I've stood weeks in iron dust in a foundry,
my skills developing;
One day I found my way into the corridors of law,
full of cases and citations;
Abuses were hurled, sometimes veiled,
but I learnt to navigate with calm and gumption;
Arguments were woven through day in and day out,
tiresome at times;
For Results we seek grace from above,
from he who inspires at all times;
Freedom liberates us to uphold it for others,
so many who are in need;
Relief for them we try to give,
we do our utmost best and succeed;
Appreciation there is for all those
who work beside us as a team;
Happiness comes when at days end,
we smile at what the day did bring;
Commercial sense is also now important,
as we navigate the seas of our morals;
Lifestyle can show when we care for each other,
cast them in our spells;
Enhancement of our skills is necessary
if we truly are to deliver;
Black and White - its pretty straight,
take an arrow from its quiver;
Shoot it on its way forward,
in a direction that your heart did guide;
Give back to those who've taught you,
let compassion be always at your side;
Gratitude is ever present,
as we seek to give our daily best;
Mentors who have enlightened us,
they put us to the test;
New Verticals we find,
new hills to climb and greener pastures;
Excellence and habit hold us in good stead,
as we read more the legal scriptures!
