Don'T Cry, My Child Poem by Vishnu Sampoorn

O Ma,
Why do you bear me,
When this world is so cruel

Everyone must struggle to live,
Here with your own you duel

Why then you bring me,
Into a world that's all bad
Where happiness is rare,
Hearts only find moments sad

Why then you curse me,
When I have done no wrong

I would have to suffer my way,
Throughout life, all along;
My child,
You will live, to lead the world,
Into a realm of joy forever
Where hearts speak the tone of peace,
Where no one evil would savour

Life is not just suffering,
You are the apple of our eyes
We will strive, along with you,
To make others realize

Some moments are joy, others sad,
The world, however, is not so bad
If you are good, it does good too,
If you work hard, success does meet you
