| A child offering flowers to her guru. |
-Nadia Afonso
We learn to walk because of our parents,
Who hold our hand for every step we take,
Till we finally walk without trembling.
But as we grow up,
We need someone to guide us,
Apart from our family and friends.
To get us out of the fear of crumbling,
Of not knowing what to choose and go ahead,
To where our path will lead us.
We find teachers, mentors and guides,
Who shape us to become what we are today.
They see potential in us when we see it as a blur.
Who share experiences that are yet untold to the world.
The hardships that got them so far in life,
The reality behind what seems 'perfect.'
They become sculptors to the clay,
A coach to a player,
And a Guru to their student.
