Rhyme time

Unforgettable boy

It was a cold winter morning

I was about to leave for my school

Suddenly I heard a bell and

found a young boy with

three wheeled refuse carrier

A boy with weak body frame

naked feet, torn clothes was

on the street road and trembling

without having worn woollen
clothes

A boy who lost the joyful days

of his childhood due to

poverty and misery

A boy who was expected

to be in the school

was undergoing the

agony of miserable life

Oh! that morning, I thought of
God the so called, the omnipotent,
omniscient and omnipresent.

To Him I prayed to save,
protect and help the boy

to lead a happy and joyful life.

World of plants

Have you ever seen birds jumping around?

Have you ever heard the plants making a sound?

I have.

I went to the plant and bird world

And there I saw how sad the plants were

Because they were plucked,

How sad the birds were

because their meat was sucked.

I’ve told you my secret of visiting that land

But now you must understand

That plants and birds are alive too

They help us more than you do
