Life
Life
I wonder
Who was the first fellow
Who taught me
How to write alphabets
On the slate?
Holding my hand, fingers and pestles
How to draw flowers and their petals
I can’t remember and recollect his face
Life’s slate is an awesome grotesque surface!
I wonder
Who was the first fellow
Who taught me
How to ride bicycle?
Caring for my balance and guarding against fall
I can’t recollect it all
Only I remember the cycle
Life is a stunning awesome cycle!
