Darling Of The Street

Darling of the Street, Wav! what a beauty

 

I have been observing her

For quite some time

Since she came in

The Neighbour hood                                

She was dark in colour

Some where near to a Coal

She looked uneven                                    

With her body protruding

Here and there

Everyone started

Avoiding her

As she was not

One among

The charming girls

Who were Fair and slim

 

She started working

For the down trodden

And educating the kids

Who could not afford

She used to sit

Under the street lamp

Assisting the kids in the evening

 

Before she landed

The street was full of thrash

She used to pick patiently

And throw in the street dust bin

There are days when she

Along with the children

Started cleaning the streets.

 

There were some children

With special needs

In the neighbourhood

Where parents

Used to struggle

To communicate

She used to request

The parents of the special children

To leave them in her home

Over the period

These children started

To laugh and bloom

 

The old used to get the comfort

For she used to care and chat with them

As time passed by

People felt handicapped

Without her

And some times

Referred her

As Lady Theresa

Of the street

 

I and many

Fell in love with her

For her thought

Was so fair

And her heart so clean

That she became the darling of the street
