Indomitable Spirit
I was swimming in the sea,
Waves came one after the other
I was swimming and swimming to reach my destination.
But one wave, a powerful wave, overpowered me;
It took me along in its own direction,
I was pulled long and along.
When I was about to lose amidst the sea-wave power,
One thought flashed to me, yes, that is courage
Courage to reach my goal, courage to
defeat the powerful force and succeed;
With courage in my mind,
indomitable spirit engulfed me,
With indomitable spirit in mind and action,
I regained lost confidence
I can win, win
Strength came back to me, overpowered the sea-wave
I reached the destination, my mission.
