Dawn At Howrah Bridge

Few minutes were left, for the Sun to rise;
And the passing night was ready for its demise. 
I stood on the Bridge, and looking at the sky, -
Having woken, the birds were all set to fly. 

Ah!what a pleasant feeling I had at that moment, 
It seemed that the nature had worn a new garment.
The gentle breeze flowing over the calm river;
Perhaps I hadn't felt it ever. 

Little faces of the ragged children with torn clothes, 
And which really hurt, the pallor of helpless mother;
No one can realize her agony better, 
Than the river, in which their misery floats. 

Then, the time of sunrise came, 
And wished to capture the view in a frame;
Ah!,then I was also enjoying the pleasure of breeze, 
When the first ray of the Sun touched the Howrah Bridge.

This is a fine piece of work, Rupak, although I'm not familiar with what happened on Howarh Bridge. I did enjoy reading the poem.
