The gift
look at the world around
how beautiful and blue
imagine how would it be
without those incredible two
you call them friends
you call them twins
for all say they both are such
they look alike very much
how many times did this couple
not save you from trouble
they always serve delight
whenever they face light
the flying bird the twinkling stars
the land and skies above
are nothing but their gift to us
lets thank the lord above
when you are old or about to leave
the best thing in the world to give
to relieve of misery and despair
would indeed be this wonderful pair.

The fate of kings
He was neither the brave lion nor the fierce tiger
But like the mountain, big, powerful and strong
Among all others in the forest, his head was higher
He was the old banyan tree who had stood there for long
He was a home to many pigeons and parrots
The wood pecker and his family lived in the trunk
At the roots sat the bunny, munching his carrots
At the top sat the stupid monkey pretending to be drunk
The workaholic tiny ants who usually thought
Every part of him was meant for them, to walk
And in the noon when the sun was blazing hot
The elephants sat in his shade to rest and to talk
He provided them with shelter, did every kind deed
He saved them from seasons, gave them every thing
Every bird and beast of the forest was proud indeed
To have this generous grand old thing for a king
Then one fine morning, a woodcutter came looking for wood
And with his sharp shining axe, cut the tree down
For the want of money, furniture or may be mere firewood
It was a pity! The king of the forest was gone.
Thousands of kings lose the war each day
Their fight for survival has been crushed by man
For greed, lust or game, they become his prey
Prevent the forests from wiping out if you can
Forests show us the path of rebirth
As they have millions of gifts to give
It is forests that make our planet earth
A happy and truly wonderful place to live
--save forests

The days gone by
Our best moments of life
Are of those days gone by
Tears of happiness roll in our eyes
When we think of those sweet old days
Reminding us of the old friends
Once with us and now no more
Reminding us of our parents
And the love they had for us
And sometimes when the heart is tired
It looks back at the past for relief
We smile at ourselves at our simple deeds
At our thoughts and our aspirations
The days that had gone by
Had moments of both pain and joy
But we still crave for them
Like a child for its very first toy
On the plains, the plateau and the shore
As long as there is the land and the sky
Nothing will ever touch our hearts more
Than memories of those days gone by.

The day hope died
Down came the deadly wind
To ask as if "can nothing bind?"
Nature’s calamitous power and might,
Adversity; and the farmer's plight
The dreary night when it was just away
All that people could do, was pray
They heard the roar and its piercing cry
But hoped that it would just pass by
When the savage made its way into the land
They watched helplessly, longing for a helping hand
For some lost wives and some lost lives
Crying, this is what happens when nature jibes
Everything was over, both bad and sad
As no one knew whose son was this lad?
People started to fight for shelter and food
Because, being humane fetched them no good
Even when the whole country struck with grief
People still waited for the much-needed relief
There was total loss of power and communication
Everyone blamed the management and the situation
The age is hi-tech; but still, the pity is
This is not England, America or Greece
The government said, "I had done my job"
But alas! The poor man was left to sob
He was still reluctant to leave
For he, his family and a wooden heave
A small farm, a few vessels and a knife
Were the only earnings of his entire life
Still we find the children fight and play
Not with toys and mud and clay
But with epidemic and disease
Remembering their dear ones the storm did sieze
Their hearts recite from time to time
But this time not the same old rhyme
"Rain, rain never come again
All you left us with, is pain”
Another day something else will happen again
When thousands will be left stranded in vain
And then, countless innocent hearts will burn
But the value of life, we will never learn
Some One Remembers You
Somewhere someone is fond of you
When you are awake and when asleep too
And wishes all your dreams come true
To remind that someone is thinking of you
Beneath the shadow of the sky so blue
There lies a heart, which beats as new
In your happiness and your troubles too
Someone wants to stand by you
When the countless stars are staring at you
How many they are? You have no clue
Where ever you be, whatever you do
Somewhere someone misses you
When you are awake and when asleep too
And wishes all your dreams come true
To remind that someone is thinking of you
Beneath the shadow of the sky so blue
There lies a heart, which beats as new
In your happiness and your troubles too
Someone wants to stand by you
When the countless stars are staring at you
How many they are? You have no clue
Where ever you be, whatever you do
Somewhere someone misses you
Longing
When I am doing nothing and sitting in a place
I know, I am doing something
I am thinking of those sweet childhood days
Captivated and unknowingly smiling
Those silly things I used to do
Those lovely dragonflies I caught
Those colorful kites I flew
I know, I can forget them not
I wondered why the earth was round?
And why I could not fly?
Where the rainbow's end could be found?
And why the sky was high?
How I used to play in the rain
And tried to skip school some how
How much I liked to wave to a train
I wish I could do them now
The past is the best place to be
With all the goodies in the sack
This feeling is not unique to me
Who doesn't want his childhood back?
Those memories of a life care free
Of fun and fear and joy and cry
Will always remain with me
Tickling me till the time I die.
