Misted Thoughts...

This goes out to everyone who has touched my life in some way or the other... My family, my friends( including all WC friends), people I have admired, people i have known etc...

Aimlessly walking down the isle,

I forgot my present for a while...

As I remembered people who shaped me

Their memories unfolded so vividly.

Endless angels had touched my soul

With their love, ever so true and pure.

They made me grow richer and stronger

By washing away the murky corners.

I am grateful to those who betrayed me;

Couldn't have known myself without thee.

The challenges they put forth helped me know,

That I was firm and never an empty show.

The unforgettable moments that I spent 

The immeasurable blessings you all sent

Have rendered my soul illuminated

I wish to share the aura you radiated.

Blissfully lost in my thought

I tripped over a thorny pot.

A woman helped me before I grumbled;

A warm "thank you" was all I mumbled!

So some hurt, others made me glad

Yet nobody was good, nobody was bad

They were all there for some reason

Defining and beautifying life's every season...

Author's Note

I am not sure whether my feelings are clear or not... I hope it's not that ambiguous! All I want to say is everyone has a special role to play in our lives (good or bad) and that's what makes it worth cherishing...

P.S.-Does the 5th stanza go with the poem? I added coz it connects the poem with the beginning... What's your take on that???
Thanks @Devyani for giving so many titles for the poem out of which I chose this one.

THANKS ALL! :)

Heartfelt and touching. A nice write of self examination. Beautiful way of saying thanks to every one that has touched your life in any way.
