Mesmerizing Mountain Caves

Last year ,our family of eight Made plans to head straight For the hills housing the caves During the kids summer break Amidst good cheer,abundant frolic The young ones climbed hoppity skip The older were a tad slow With peppy, resolute spirits though It took us nearly half a day Trudging up the maze like way None did let out a sigh Our goals set mighty and high Sunset past, it got dark But did manage to reach at last The entrance of the heavenly caves Oh! Straight out of some fairy tale! Inside the sanctum just across The magnificent Shiva, the Hindu God The caves within radiant and bright Simply took us by surprise In the hour of night A brilliant ,golden sunrise!
