Mother Hides Secrets
A young elephant looked at mother;
so different from it, so strange!
The mother so big and heavy,
it was a little thing beside her
The young elephant decided to ask;
“Mother, tell me, who are you?
hide no secret from me, mother;
You look like a heap of something,
are you a mountain range?
Your legs look like stems,
are you a tree?
You carry two big spears,
are you a bush hunter?
Your eyes are so small,
are you a forest scientist?
See, you carry two sheets,
are you a mysterious tailor?
Other animals just live here and go
are you surely a patriot?”
The mother listened and answered;
“My child be patient, grow.
Time has all answers for you.”
