A CHILD’S HYMN

God make my life a little light,
Within the world to glow,
A little flame that burneth bright,
Wherever I may go.
God make my life a little bit flower
That giveth joy to all,
Content to bloom in native bower,
Although the place be small.
God make my life a little song
That comforteth the sad,
That helpeth others to be strong
And maketh the singer glad.
God make my life a little staff
Where on the weak may rest,
That so what health and strength I have
May serve my neighbours best.
God make my life a little hymn
Of tenderness and praise,
Of faith that never waneth dim
In all His wondrous ways.

ocean

Silent and still, an ocean outside,
Inside it, volcano till abide
Hot magma oozes out,
making it wide,
Silent and still it looks outside
Who gives it love hug tight?
Ignoring it, numerous boats ride
Silent and still it looks outside
Unknown creatures in it,
swim side by side
Several corals in it hide
Silent and still it looks outside
Ridges cutting it deep inside,
Oh! it looks like a bride
Silent and still it looks outside
Honey

LIFE

Life is like a question mark,
which is too much dark,
We don’t know what will happen next,
but it is messy text.
It is like tension,
because we have to mention
everything we have done.
It is just like a run, with lot of fun.
It has so many situations,
Some showing anger,
Some showing emotion.
It comes once and have to
maintain with lot of guts.

SOMEONE

Someone who me first hand to walk,
Someone who revealed that
I could rock..
Someone who dressed
me like a princess,
Someone who cheered
my babyish address..
Someone who taught me
the childish rhymes..
Someone who bought me
the chocolate ice creams,
Someone who made me
believe I could fetch my dreams..
Someone who danced with
me in my alluring rains,
Someone who cried with
me in my deplorable pains..
Someone who travelled with
me to the best locations,
Someone who surprised me
on each day of my vacations..
Someone who prepared for
me the best cuisines,
Someone who giggled with
me on the comedy movies scenes..
Someone who still delights
me with the latest fad,
Someone who never turned
a deaf ear to my chat..
Someone who thrilled me
with stories from ancient time scale,
It’s my grandma a fairy in my tale..
