The Boy and His Mother
Bankura, West Bengal
The boy said to his mother,
"Look at the sky,
How does day and night pass,
How the sun and moon sway by!"
"Look at how the sky lifts,
There flies a bird,
How does it speak so clear,
With no home, nowhere near?"
Holding his mother, the boy said,
"These are the ones who own the world,
Their thoughts, like mine, are true,
The stars in my heart too."
"See how the dewdrop rests,
Sleeping on the flower,
This is how the world moves,
Bound by love, hour by hour."
