One day I went to a place so lonely

There were I and flowers only

Red, pink and white floers everywhere

I couldn’t see any person anywhere

Moving ahead I saw a stream

Just as, in my dreams

Chirping of birds sounded so sweet and deep

Just like the lullaby of mother for her child to sleep

I was surprised to think that people were unaware of it

They never came to visit the place, where they can peacefully sit

But then I thought it was good

Because nobody could have preserved Nature, even if they could.

When you are not at ease,

When you have no one to tease,

When you want to go out for long walks,

But have no one to listen to your talks,

Tell me brother at that time,

Do you miss me or not?

When at night I was sleeping,

Dreaming something bad, I started weeping,

I searched for your helping hand,

In my dreamland,

For I miss you a lot,

Tell me brother, do you miss me or not?

When I have no one with me to fight,

I have no one to fly my kite,

When I am not able to decide,

What is wrong and what is right,

I miss you a lot,

Tell me brother, do you miss me or not?

When you have tears in your eyes,

And there is no one to stop you from crying,

When you need someone to share your talks,

And there is no one to tell you your wrongs,

Tell me brother, at that time,

Do you miss me or not?

Four years of your engineering,

Tough time for bearing,

All alone in this home,

I feel really bored,

For I miss you a lot,

Tell me brother, do you miss me or not?

Trees! Trees! Trees!

We get to breathe fresh breeze.

Of all god’s creations, they are the kings.

And they are useful to all living things.

They also have many leaves.

When the wind blows, they wave.

They also have many strong roots.

But they do not wear any boots.

They are fixed in one place.

They do not have any face.

So, plant a tree.

And get oxygen free.
