An Ode To The Little One

By Nayana N

Are you there

Oh tiny little one

Shattered by shackles

And miseries of life

Are you there,

Oh little one

Who dreamt in summer days

And crumbled in winter rains

Are you there,

Oh little one

Who cheered in the day

And sobbed with life’s way

Are you there,

Oh little one

Who I shield by my thoughts

And from all the imps of sinister sorts

Are you there,

Oh little one

Whom I ask for forgiveness

As in the light of day

I became nothing but dismay
