I can & I'll

Easy to give up smoking!,

attempted, many a times

In spite of damn serious,

to quit, took several years

It’s nearing two decades,

since last puff, I enjoyed

Sternly made up my mind,

turned utterly determined

 

Called my domestic help,
passed over d' cigar packs,
from  draws, from d’ racks

“Dump them all, in d’ drain

no queries, desired again”

He noted my fickle notion,

Silently carried all d’ stock,
 stored covertly d' entire lot
 Dare not dispose right away
 guessed, I'll ask, d' next day
 I adopted an ardent resolve
 no smoke resume, it's solved
  Rigid will power, firm decision,
  to tide over the stiff situation
 D’ maniac craze, craving gone,

an instant stop to habituation,

No counseling for de-addiction,

my determination, a mile stone

 

Determined guys, never recede,

any odd stretch, try to proceed

Tea making, to tree planting,

poem composing to paragliding

No hurdles can break d' rhythm,

no barriers, hinder momentum

Match a housewife, even a maid

task swiftly done, faster than said

Inner potentials absolutely strong,

no wait, outcome right or wrong

Till job accomplished,even no wink,

behave stubborn, refuse to sink

 

Life a path, with crevices, cracks,

drop to a crack, drags to foot path

Steadfast ones get up, carry on,

attitude firm, reach destination

Wish to achieve, unfogs d' way,

solitary silhouette lopes away

Perseverance makes difference,

tunes up all apparent cadence

No blame game, beget situation,

move ahead, with firm intention

Only defeat, not a final defeat,

lone flaw, no flaw, might repeat

Ambient challenges, aptly taken,

coveted ending ought to happen

I can do, evidently I will,

any tough task up d' hill!
