The Better Of Best And The Worse Of Worst

By Parvati Uppala

We started out with dreams in eyes,

Passion in heart, promises to skies

We walked together in the journey

With each step our bond grew heavenly

We cheerfully embarked on a breezy ride

The first few hours were joy we couldn’t hide

We watched sunny fields, heard birds in flight

But shadows turned paths to trials by midnight

We lost our way, through roads that bend

With no map to show, we hit dead end

But still we rose up, discovered new course

With hand in hand, directed by nature’s force

Traversing deep valleys and steep hills

Learned life lessons while fulfilling our thrills

The scars we bear, the affliction we share

Speak volumes of a life of toil that only a few dare

The little escapades, discords, torments

Are all worthwhile upon life’s moments

When partnered with a lending hand,

A firm shoulder to lean onto where we stand

We lived through each other’s best and worst

Memories as such can never gather rust

We actualized, with each challenge combated

Our strength and dreams got invigorated
