Childhood

South West monsoon starts early                                          Our village gets more rainfall                                                   Oh , the streets are full of lovely puddles                              We jump into the puddles joyfully                                         Rain water splash on the ground heavily                             
                                                                                                     Our dresses have wet fully                                                   
 Even the big school bags are too                                          Our intention is to enjoy the rain                                             
 We never think about the consequence                              Our bodies say enough but not the mind                             
                                                                                                     Our mother sees us playing                                               
 Shout for playing in the rain                                                  
 She has gone into the house instantly                                Our lovely grandma appears from the house                     
 She calls us to come inside politely.                                      
                                                                                                     We accept her call calmly.                                                    Step into the house wetly                                                        Our mother comes with a large spoon to beat.                   The grandma stands before us like a wall                          
 She says they are innocent children too.                                
                                                                                                       We realize our mistake                                                           
 And say pardon us, mother.
