Poem
The Pearl from the coal mines The wonderful age of thirty is Sathyaprakash, He’s a vegetable vendor with a pushcart, At the end of the day, as the Sun is setting , He returns home to join his parents. Yes, he listens carefully once again. And confirms the crying is of a human baby. Stopping his cart, he rushes to the bush nearby His heart melts when he sees a tiny girl, In the heap of garbage of all kinds. A heartless woman must have left her to die; he takes her home. On receiving the warmth of his chest She becomes calm and holds him tight in security. ‘Bachelor am I, I’ll take care of this precious gift’, He says to himself and gives her a name ‘Surya’, meaning the Sun that gives light. Sacrifices his own life For his beloved pearl, from the coal mines. He watched her growing day by day, Like you watch a tender plant growing, He cares for her every need as his own daughter. As she reaches grade seven, he realizes His gem is a super intelligent power. He slogs hard, even sacrifices nutritious food So, she gets excellent food and clothing. His life has become only to fulfill All her wishes, and for her to reach To whatever stage she wants. When they award her a gold medal , For achieving first in the university For her Master’s degree, she has a wish. She completes all the exams Under the Public Service Commission. Her wish thus fulfills and her brilliant mind Brings her that great gift through An appointment as an Income Tax Commissioner. She shines as the most committed And honest officer, Sathyaprakash, her dad Remains as a vegetable vendor with his cart. Her heart breaks when she thinks Dad has sacrificed his life for fulfilling her wishes One day she said, Dad, you take rest, now I take Care of you. No, my child, I’ve been a vegetable vendor.
