A Child's Mind
What that removes the dark?
What's that lightens the world?
What's that red round?
Which on the early east is only found?
Why it's so cold?
When the weather is moulded by hazy fog.
And why is it so hot?
When big ponds dry to small dots.
Why the koel sings?
Whence the winter turns mild and is slowly overpowered by spring.
And why is it so humid?
When the rain starts pouring and flowing.
What are thet shine at night?
Most of which without might;
Yet one amongst them shines with full lusture
But it too sometimes vanishes from the unending infrastructure.
Why green is the grass?
Why is the coal black?
Why blue is the sky?
In which the birds fly.
Why fishes live in water?
And why some animals live in woods?
Why birds with wings fly?
Why do the dogs look for food?
How simple is a child's mind!
As we grow we fail it to find-
Some questions asked by a child are these-
Why does'nt our mind remain as simple as this?
