Rich Uncle and Chess

When i was in school,
a rich uncle came to our place,
and he asked me,
so boy what do you like to do?
i told him that i like numbers,
and i can write a poem too,
and then he asked me,
in life what do you want to be?
i told him that,
rich and smart just like you,
and he replied,start playing chess,
that would help you,
and i asked how can chess help me,
to become one like you?
But he did not answer and said instead,
with time answer will come to you?

So i moved to college and there also,
i did not learn to play chess,
i just spent time in empty rooms,
working with numbers and poems a days few,
than one day again,
that rich uncle again came to our place,
and he gladly said,
you have learn t to play chess haven't you?
i said no i haven't because
i could not understand why so advised you?
and he answered same again,
with time answer will come to you?

So i passed the college, got a job,
forgot what the uncle advised,
earning decent, living in a rented house,
and than one day again,
that rich uncle again came to our place,
and he said so you have started the chess,
i said i did not again follow you,
and he grinned and smiled,
with time answer will come to you?

And than one day,
instead of coming to my place,
he called me at his place,
took me to through his estates,
through his factories and offices,
and he asked so you are what you wanted to be?
i said i am no way close to you,
but i understand now,
why did you ask me to play chess,
and he said that's my boy,
and that's what i wanted to hear from you.
