It was office time

It was office time

It was office time

Shrunken belly

Tears in eyes

The starving child

Hopefully stared

At the passers by

To have mercy

Give something to eat

Make him survive

Everybody looked

Pityingly at him

Nobody had time for

The starving child

Avoiding fine

Reaching office in time

Was more important

Than humanity

Poem comes out of the heart

I decided to write

A poem

Used choicest

Words

Decorated it with

Rhyming words

Appropriate

Synonyms

Took care of

The grammar

Satisfied with

The out come

I asked

My friend’s son

To read it

Tell me

If he liked

To my

Utter surprise

The young fellow

Told me

Uncle

Poem comes

From the heart

It cannot be

Designed

I blushed

Nodded my head

In agreement

To what the young

Child taught me

The child in me

I am a full-grown man

With a wife and children

A good job to do

Have all that I need

People think

I have lot of experience

To share with others

I give to them

 What is expected from me?

But do not hide

The child in me

At times

 I cry and laugh like him

Ask questions

As a child does

Play and behave like him

I know

Childhood cannot return

But the child in me

Takes me back

To the carefree

World of A child

No matter,

How old I become  

I do not want

The child in me 

To die
