Do you read acknowledgments while starting new books?  The acknowledgment part of the book is where the authors publicly appreciate individuals who have contributed emotional, financial, moral, and academic assistance while they struggled to create a book. It remains either at the beginning or after the book.  Most of us skip this part when we start a book, BUT I love reading acknowledgment. I think it is the most crucial part of a book that everyone should read.  As previously said, acknowledgment comprises a short thank you message for those that assisted an author while authoring a book. It may be found not just in books, but also in research papers, essays, and other academic domains. It's written simply, yet if we delve deep enough, we can sense how profound it is.  When we receive a book, it is in one piece, and aside from the content we tend to learn, know, and think about the author solely but we seldom notice what goes on behind the scenes of the book on how many people have helped an author to start, the process behind it, and produce a complete piece? In my opinion, indeed the author is the most significant component of a book, but every helpful hand is equally important to create a book.  How many of us are aware that Harper Lee, the author of TO KILL A MOCKING BIRD, was given a year's pay by her friends for her to take a year off from work to write a book, and the rest is history?  And this is the first reason I read acknowledgments, those individuals don't know me, nor have I known them, but reading a message addressed to them makes me feel surreal and think more deeply about the kindness in people, and how far a person could go to support those they love. Furthermore, I believe it teaches us to practice appreciation, to be grateful for everything, and to never take anything for granted. Acknowledgments offer us a life lesson: we should never forget someone who has supported us in difficult circumstances and has helped us to do our best in our life.  These are both simple reasons why I read acknowledgments, but it has truly enabled me to think broader, and I have a dream to write a book one day, it has taught me the hardship an author has to go through to give you a complete piece of the book, and It might also serve as a motivational remark to budding authors, letting them know that they are not alone.  You never know, you may be acknowledged in someone's life book.

On one Sunny day You came to me You smile Your aura I forgot everything that I exist that I breathe  surrendered myself to your love I asked  "How much do you love me?"  "Be ready to count those stars."  You replied embracing me. Flattered with your words  I started to dream  Me and You  in our happy place  Today and Forever On one Rainy day When you said You've found another one and I had to let you go I begged  I begged  fell into knees till you pushed me away You got disappeared in the rain  Leaving me behind I collapsed on the ground Rain drops drizzled all over my face wiping away my tears to the ground Little did I know My tears had formed  a seed and then a seedling started to grow  slowly and gradually.  On one winter day with tired and puffy eyes  I looked away outside of window with a hope you would return My eyes went to our garden where we had planted our dreams with our love I heard my name being called  I searched for you I saw a human figure  but that wasn't you I closed my window and curtains  went down to ground and cried till I fell asleep  On one Spring day I woke up with my name  being called again same voice, same tone alike last winter I went out in search of voice  I saw same figure of my height of my structure facing back towards me I put my hand on its shoulder It turned back at me  I was shocked  staggered, seeing myself I was smiling I touched other mine's face and other I touched mine That tender touch got merged with me knocking me out. A cool breeze woke me up I felt a certain weight has been put off from my heart I looked for my figure I didn't see myself nearby I looked at the mirror I smiled I've found me In search of you I have found me And the value, worth of my tears that I had wasted on you I won't be begging anymore You wanna know why?? Cause I've got me that part of me whom I left somewhere in search of you. So Thank You for returning myself to me.
