Our Grand Daughter Poem by Ravi Upadhye

Our dear granddaughter in pink frock,
Calls the friends waiting for her -knock knock knock,

Here she comes smiling and blabbering,
To dance and sing,

Dancing like a peacock and singing like a koel,
I am little koo, I will never quarrel

Dear sparrow and the rabbit,
I want to be ,
Chirping and flying wearing my dress milk white

Dear swan, teach me to swim with pristine grace,
And dear deer, teach me how to leap and pace,

Dear tiger I hear you burn bright,
Will you please wait till I meet you and dont be extinct?
,
Dear camel with your hunch back and long legs,
Give me a bumpy ride up and down
and dont dropp me from the space

Dear butterfly lend me your wings with colours of flowers magnificent
Looking at them through my childhood, I want to paint my youth bright
and vibrant,

Dear sky and ocean,
I love your expanse and colour deep blue,
I want to fly in my plane and sail my ship all through

But mama, when I am finished and through,
I still want to be in your lap and hear the lullaby you sing for this lil koo.
