This Too Shall pass

It was 1960 I was dreaming through
all my life to be a doctor and in my
days seats in medical school not so
many specially for girls

Just one medical school with 8 seats
for girls in total I had no luck so I
tried in another one away like from
Toronto to Calgary

Result was same no luck there too
I was coming back via  train on the
way was a river my train was crossing
the bridge and for the first time in my
life I was feeling very devastated

I wanted to jump into the river for me
it was the end of my dream so end of
my life too at least I was thinking like that

Then with heavy heart I got my
admission in the university to do my
Honors in Microbiology

After that period so many ups and
downs were in my life like in everyone
 else's it happens

Specially when my healthy husband
died of heart attack just like that
leaving 5 small children behind
at that time I was 34 and living
in a big rented house in a city
thousand miles away from my
family and friends

I decided to fly with the dead body
to the city where family was waiting
for hist burial

I faced everything keeping in mind
that God is watching over me
and I am not alone

When I look back to the year 1960
and the idea of jumping into the river
I think I was just 18 very emotional
so reacting like any teenager might react

Now I realize there is nothing the
end of the world and also remember
This too shall pass so move on
