Angel -Fv
It's way back before I reached
Age of double-digits
But very clear in my memories
Is a book-store boy
Little taller than us
Forever referred "little devil" by the owner
But for us,my brother, sister and me
He was our sweet big brother
For he gave us most attention
Among all the older girls and boys
We shared with him
Stories of classes and friends
On our way back home
In his astonishment and laughters
Sometimes he shed a tear or two
Quenching our innocent curiosity
Said it's because of dust from busy roads
But now we three perceive
It was his grief to be left out from education
One day after our final exams
Rain came down in torrents
In the dim gleam of cloudy noon
He accompanied us to home soaking through rains
And then Dad's transfer
Made us go places on the next terms
But that boy has left his imprints
In childhood chapters of our life
We couldn't manage to know about his whereabouts
Or even his name returning to our old town
So we three gave him a name "Kind Angel"
After all what's in a name
