Precious and Beautiful Gifts
Green, gargantuan park
Scattered everywhere the tiny tots
PRECIOUS AND BEAUTIFUL GIFTS
OF THE HEART
With their funny antics, woolly babbling, scuff-lings
And in ecstatic bliss they play together
forming one large circle
Where prevails no differentiation
Of colour, caste, class, religion
The tiny tots are the
PRECIOUS AND BEAUTIFUL GIFTS
OF THE HEART
Who fear neither fire nor water
Pain or pleasure
Bondage or separation
Everything appears alike
To the mystic playgroups
Who enhances beauty to the park
And makes it like a praiseworthy piano
Adorable and adored
Loved by one and all
For their foolish wisdom
And snow white pristine innocence
PRECIOUS AND BEAUTIFUL
GIFTS
OF THE HEART
In multifarious garbs
Some can jump, run, walk
Scribble, read, write
Colour, sketch, dance, sing
Play with barbies, balls, cars
Can lap chocolates,cakes ice-creams
BUT...................................................
Many PRECIOUS AND BEAUTIFUL GIFTS
OF THE HEART
Dared not even open their eyes, ears, mouths
Are fettered with myriad manacles
Their petulant childhoods are dismembered
Can't they too wish, aspire, dream?
Like the no blesse oblige?
Why do humans itself deprive the joys?
OF THE
PRECIOUS AND BEAUTIFUL
GIFTS OF THE HEART?
Make them work in hotels and factories
LET THE PRECIOUS AND BEAUTIFUL GIFTS
OF THE HEART
Realise their golden reign
Of care, concern, love, benevolence
They do deserve like the other children
LIVE AND LET LIVE
And merry the world around
With gay children
in multitudes.
Note: I believe that THE PRECIOUS AND BEAUTIFUL GIFTS OF THE HEART ARE CHILDREN
GOD'S GREATEST GIFT.Many couples are childless today. So children are our joys and
happiness. Children of today are our youth and future tomorrow. But there are teeming
children whose childhood are nipped in the bud and are engaged in child labour. Let's not
make children work and better the world !
