I Still Owe Debt

I was with my lovely mummy
                                      traveling smiling face gummy
                                      saw a child not happy bunny
                                  asked for money, asked for money

                                 The guard blew whistle I not sieve
                                     felt he who lost all his life's ziv
                                     twenty five paisa tried to give
                                     I failed forgive I failed forgive

                                   The station's name I forgot yet
                                       his face in memory upset
                                   I feel pain when that is reset 
                                  I still owe debt I still owe debt

Note: This is real fact of my childhood life when I was traveling with my mom by a train.

I really like your story, my friend. However, you need to rhyme all the end rhymes. I hope you can do it so you can be on the winners list. It's really a good one close to your heart.
