Stretch
^^^^^^^
Where ever I go
I find you shadowing me all the time
With an ardent desire
To just protect me
When ever I sing
All praises come about you
And your greatness showered on all of us
In kind
When ever I write poetry
I always word you and your charm
In all the verses I scribble
In ecstasy indeed
Oh! My friend!
How to define you
You are the inner soul of me
Or for that matter every individual on earth
You are valued by all in priceless terms
Oh! The true human
You must stretch your self in one and all

Yes, always to stretch, to reach, to "attain a little more each day (as I say in a recent poem of mine)," and indeed as you say in this wise poem of yours, we must stretch ourselves "in one and all," individually and collectively, our individuality in harmony and connected with the collectivity--the unity--of the universe.
You say it best; it is silly for me to quote and try to tell you why I love your poem and why it is wise. The point is that you speak universal truth here with insight, and you do it well. Thank you for this, and for all you do, my dear friend and fellow poet Supani.
Respect and solidarity,
