Read this interesting poem about life of a Sailors Queen, as she describes her life till now in a form of poem.
I have come a long way!
A girl born premature and at home
Looked like a battered creature with no hope
No one thought that I’d see any summers
Except for the young mom who believed in her prayers
I have come a long way!

Survive I did, and survive how
It’s so difficult to even imagine it now
Teeth didn’t show up till I was well over one
Didn’t even crawl, but got up and walked at two!
Speech was delayed even beyond,
I have come a long way!

Started to talk at almost three
After that never kept anyone free
Didn’t start with small words
But had full speech, filling up my parent’s world
I have come a long way!

Everyone’s pet and a symbol of hope for the family
They called me Laxmi, apt for a princess who struggled
Named after the great queen of Jhansi,
The lady who dared and fought for all
I have come a long way!

School was fun, I shone like a star
Parent’s pride and teacher’s pet
I was looked up as a good bet
Topped the class and lead like a leader
I have come a long way!

I was different, never followed any rat race
Thought out of the box and did what no one would
Pursued a course that was new
Haven’t looked back and hopes ever renewed
I have come a long way!

Worked with a dream company
Could see my way to the top,
But left it there and followed my heart
Started to teach and train
I have come a long way!

Did all that I had to, to equip myself
With the right knowledge, skill and attitude
Studied while I worked
Never ceasing to express my gratitude
I have come a long way!

Could’ve had a cozy life away in another country
But backed out at the right moment
Walking away from a relationship that’d cage me
I have come a long way!
But backed out at the right moment

Got busy, loving my work and empowering others
Didn’t know how time flew altogether
Met a man, who was destined to be mine
Wedding bells rang at 29
I have come long way!

New life brought changes galore
Had to start all afresh
An arranged marriage, being a mom too soon
To add to this, was a job all new
I have come a long way!

Time flew while I moved to and fro
The elder one then got a new bro
Sailor hubby was out at sea
Me juggling all my plates, was the key
I have come a long way!

Kids are older, work settled
Heart still asks for more
There’re opportunities galore
Life is a beauty indeed
I have come a long way!

From a girl, whose survival was a question
To a lady who counsels others to live
From a girl, who couldn’t speak
To someone who’s a voice for many
I have come a long way!
