My bunny

I have a little bunny,

Who is quite smart and funny.

In the morning he gets up at seven.

At night he sleeps at eleven

I find him everywhere.

But he does not come anywhere near

Peace of mind is what I get from it.

In my mind, the reward is fit,

I have a little bunny,

Who is smart and funny,

Dare to dream

Dreams are the way to reach your goal,

They pave your path and prepare your soul,

For what you wish and want to achieve

Once you decide, do not midway leave.

Have in your heart the urge to win

And then no one can stop you, be it your enemy or your kin,

Let your dream be there in your eyes

And then you can even reach beyond the skies.

Have determination and faith in it,

And someday the target you will hit.

Great men became great because they had dreamt so

To defeat and failure, they had said ‘no’

Have this attitude and you will soon be on top

But move on with a smile and not a sob

Just realise your dream at the right time

And you will be a star and shine!

Summer heat

Schools are sizzling, homes are hot,

Shade of some trees is what we got.

The forest is on fire for our fault,

Greenery gone, gives us a jolt.

Constant power cuts deprive us of our time to study,

Still to face any test we are ready.

We get hopeful when the clouds appear,

But when they leave without a drop we despair.

Trust in God for monsoon showers,

To make this earth green and full of flowers.
