On The Train
The first time I rode on the train, The thing that caught my sight was a crane, The air that rushed in through the window, Was as fresh and clean as a rainbow. As I gazed outside towards the scenic beauty, I thanked god for giving us all this bounty. When the train passed through a railway crossing, I saw the common people waiting. At that time a poor boy came to me and asked for money, It made me stop eating the bread sanwiched with honey. I gave the bread to the boy, And was glad to see him beam with joy. How can a country demand of being a developed nation, When some people even can't afford their ration. I pledged to work for the poor when I grow up, The lush green fields outside shined with dewdrop. Finally,the destined ststion came into my sight, The people in our compartment looked happy and bright. I climed down the train murmuring a rhyme, I was lucky that the train reached on time.
