The Comforting Hand

I dreamt one night,
My girl leaving me,
But that's all right.
Life has no guarantee!

So I got into my car,
And turned on the key,
To drive away so far,
Where I would be free.

I saw in my dreams,
Getting my release,
Rowing in the streams,
Towards a precipice.

When came the fall,
I freely rolled down,
With a jubilant call,
Prepared to drown.

But deep under water,
When I fought for air,
My mind began to wonder:
This must be a nightmare!

But wasn't I wrong!
For when I gave up,
A hand came along,
And pushed me up.

When I reached the top,
The hand was gone,
But I can't ever stop,
To wonder when alone...

Whose hand was it?
I couldn't see Her face,
That I have to admit,
But I felt Her caress!

And the effect's there,
Even after many years,
I feel Her loving care,
When I'm in tears.

    1. Hello Smita,
      Actually, I believe "tumne bahut achcha likha," because by sharing your secret thoughts, you have shown yourself to be much more matured than you believe yourself to be. You will appreciate what I am talking about when you watch this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lkbWIfP3mLw
      Thank you,
      Paresh
