THE TREE

Walking on the path
was enjoying thee.
Beautiful blossoms,soothing breeze,
divine songs echoing,
children playing,joyful youths,
olderones' worshiping
were seen,seen trees
small,medium and large
of flower,of fruits,of shades
they too enjoying thine,
dancing to and fro;
spreading the essence
of love,of beauty,of happiness.

Walking on the path
was enjoying thee.
Overglowing sun,seems angry
utter breezeless silence prevails ,
children in listening stories,
youth at workplace,
tiring passerby besets
were seen,seen trees
small,medium and large
of flower,of fruits,of shades,
happily standing still
giving shelter,relieving burned out;
spreading the message
of care,of selflessness,of endurance.

Walking on the path
was enjoying thee.
Clouds shunning sun,
violent winds,storming
children crying with fear,
youths afraid of untoward spree ,
olderones' dictating
were seen,seen trees
small,medium and large
of flower,of fruits,of shades,
like a soldier fighting adversities,
though rooted to its soil,
despite loosing beloved
branches,leaves,flowers,fruits;
showing no sign
of grief,of unwillingness,of tiredness.

Walking on the path
was enjoying thee.
