Analysis of Dearth for Strenghth of Mind.



I left my home,
To work in a far-off land,
I felt a deep sense of sorrow,
When I had to leave,
Behind all those ,
Loved ones whom I cherished;
They were the backbone  of my life,
I felt a deep sense of emptiness,                                       
Life confronts you,
With a variety of feelings,
Of joy and sorrow,
It is left for one to maintain,
A strong sense  of balance,
To retain a strength of mind and valour.
