.
While playing around
His knees and feet,
I learnt of his ideals,
Just as I awoke, he led
Me chanting hymns
To the Sun God and
The morning hour,
Taught me the tables
And rectified my writing,
More, he taught me to
Observe, how the babul
Bird built it’s nest and
Fed it’s chicks, how to
Help the poor at door
With kindness and alms,
He taught me how to
Respect one’s mother.
Most of all self esteem
And self respect are a
Man’s core and now he
Still holds on inspite of
His age and bent back.
